If an automotive water pump leaks, timely replacement is recommended for the following reasons:

1. To prevent engine overheating: The water pump serves the main purpose of circulating coolant and keeping the engine in the normal operating temperature range. If the water pump leaks, the engine will overheat due to loss of coolant. Overheating may cause engine damage or other serious problems. Replacing the water pump can prevent such problems.

2. To avoid further damage: Water pump leak may be caused by worn, corroded or deteriorated seals. Without timely repair or replacement, leak can be aggravated, resulting in more serious damage, such as a dislodged water pump impeller or damaged bearing. Replacing the water pump can prevent further damage and save repair cost.

3. To maintain adequate vehicle performance: The water pump is a crucial part for keeping proper function of the engine. A leaky water pump may interfere with normal operation of the cooling system, and consequently leads to engine performance degradation. Replacing the leaky water pump will restore proper operation of the cooling system and adequate vehicle performance.

Advantages of vika water pump:

Pump body: The body of a vika water pump uses the same powder resin casing as OE products.

Water seal: The water seals adopted for the vika water pumps are sourced from Weichai Torch Technology, the supplier of water seal seals for OE products. Such water seals feature excellent sealing and high bearing capacity. They seal the coolant perfectly to avoid leakage while isolating the coolant from the water pump bearing for better protection of the bearing.

Bearing: Bearing is one of the key parts of a water pump. The water pump bearings of vika are acquired from C&U, a domestic supplier of OE water pump components. The vika water pump bearings are based on a human-centered design, and feature higher bearing capacity and better heat dissipation. Their warranty covers 80,000 kilometers.

Impeller and pulley: In the design of vika impeller, maximum pump flow is achieved by controlling the number of blades and the opening/closing angle, thus cooling the engine effectively. A wide variety of materials and forms of impellers and pulleys have been made available to the customers.

Thermostat: Temb thermostats are adopted for vika water pumps. They have consistent quality with OE products and boast reliable performance.
