Is there a problem with the Subaru Legacy air pump?
1 09-15-2016, 09:09 PM (This post was last modified: 10-09-2016, 04:01 AM by mehhrib .) we have a problem in our workshop with Subaru Legacy 2.0 2007 year. Engine light on and secondary air pump and the system around it seems to be malfunctioning. Air pump was rebuilt, so it works if we put the direct power to it, relay ok, fuses ok.
What are the symptoms of a bad water pump?
1. Coolant leak at the front-center of your car. The water pump is comprised of multiple gaskets and seals that keep coolant contained and ensure that consistent flow of coolant is delivered from the radiator to the engine. Eventually, these gaskets and seals will wear out, dry up, crack or break entirely.

How can you tell if your water pump is leaking?
If it appears to be wet from coolant, you have a leak somewhere, possibly in your water pump, but other sources of leaking coolant could be radiator hoses, heater hoses, freeze plugs, gaskets, or the radiator itself.

What to do if your car water pump is leaking?
If you notice there is a leak of coolant (which will appear to be green or sometimes red in color) under the center of your car, truck or SUV, contact a professional mechanic to inspect this problem. More often than not, it’s a leak from the water pump that can be repaired before it gets worse.
What happens when the water pump fails in a car?
When the water pump fails or is beginning to wear out, it can lead to complete engine failure. When the water cooled (as opposed to air cooled) engine was introduced, many automotive experts believed that the water pump circulating coolant through the engine block was just as critical to engine protection as oil.
What should I do if my water pump is not working?
As discussed above, an engine will maintain a consistent temperature when the water pump works correctly and circulates water to a functioning radiator. If you notice steam coming from the front of your motor, you should pull over to a safe area and contact a mechanic as soon as possible.
