Andrew Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hello I have slight and I mean slight play approx a millimetre in my water pump bearing what are your thoughts please Regards Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Sounds normal enough, as long as it's not leaking water it will soldier on. Bear in mind modern pumps wear out very quickly and more than a few need replaced quite often, almost like a service item to be replaced every two years or so.

Clive Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 And keep an eye out for a genuine old stock pump. They do turn up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 The bearing is made up from two single row ball races, if the play is radial rock then somethings getting worn if its front , back float then less of a problem too much float will start the seal to leak from its drain hole , which is a good indication death is close any brown stains here is a poor sign. otherwise as said it will soldier on for ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
