Thermostat failure can cause either overheating, if the thermostat sticks closed and prevents coolant flow, or overcooling, if it sticks open and prevents the engine from reaching operating temperature. An engine that takes a long time to warm up, never reads normal on the temperature gauge, or shows reduced heater output is likely running with a failed-open thermostat. Water pump failure stops coolant circulation https://www.raytownautorepair.com/about-us/ and causes rapid overheating. The water pump is driven by the timing belt or serpentine belt, and replacement is often recommended when the belt is replaced to avoid a future failure that requires the same labor to address.
