Services Performed
- Confirmed the customer's complaint and found engine coolant leaked from the vehicle. Visually inspected the engine coolant level and found it was below the minimum operating level. Inspected the engine cooling system for signs of damage and observed no evidence of any obvious faults. Filled the engine coolant to the proper operating level, attached a cooling system pressure tester to the engine cooling system and pressurized the system to check for leaks. The engine cooling system did not retain the applied pressure, which indicated an engine coolant leak was present. Continued to apply pressure to the engine cooling system, inspected the system for signs of an external engine coolant leak and found the engine water pump had leaked. The results of these tests verified the engine water pump was faulty.
