WHAT: Water pump bearings.6 S4 k* ^) m# ^/ x9 f" z6 w
URGENCY: When the bearings fail completely, the fan will pull forward and slice a nice big smile-shaped chunk out of the radiator, making it leak profusely.# a4 @4 }, j1 V- R' K' g4 i. B- {& I
FIX: You need a new pump.

WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.
7 w% _4 P: m% lWHAT: The pressure relief valve inside the pump is dumping excess power-steering hydraulic fluid back into the reservoir. It's supposed to do that, although maybe a little more quietly.
$ l) ^: ?9 b( ^8 L8 g0 r# MURGENCY: No big deal.0 i. l! `7 i5 Y
FIX: It's normal. Actually, you should check the level of power steering fluid in the pump. Don't hold the wheel hard on the stop like that; it annoys pedestrians and is tough on the belt.

WHEN: Right after start-up until you rev the throttle a couple of times and the rubber warms up.
9 h! ^' F- i! }' RWHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.
# O$ A' y% h+ j& L$ u, TURGENCY: Make an appointment, and don't take a long trip. This won't go away on its own--until just before the belt fails.
