Subaru BRZ Serving Colorado Springs Water Pump
If you're Subaru BRZ's water pump ever breaks, you'll know it. Your Subaru BRZ just won't run. Your Subaru BRZ's water pump is part of the cooling system and runs other systems as well but primarily is responsible for helping to move the water and coolant solution through the cooling system. As the solution, heated by the engine, moves along, it enters the radiator where much of the heat is dissipated. If you didn't have a water pump, the coolant solution would just sit in place and your engine would over head, which could badly damage the engine. So it's fairly obvious why this piece of equipment should be checked as part of overall preparation for a summer of break-down free driving. The Subaru of Pueblo service, maintenance and repair technicians will know how to check the water pump to be sure it can make it into summer. Largely the tech will check to see how loose the water pump is at its weakest point, its bearings. If overly loose, it's time for a change.

Subaru BRZ Serving Colorado Springs Cooling Fans
Another important part of your Subaru BRZ's cooling system is the electric cooling fan. Controlled by a specially designed thermostatic switch, the Subaru BRZ's cooling fans are set up to switch on should the coolant solution in the cooling system rises to a too high temperature, which is preset with an eye toward providing further cooling as needed. There are several signs you will notices if one or both of your Subaru BRZ's cooling fans are not working. If your Subaru BRZ overheats in traffic or if your Air Conditioner won't turn on, you should suspect an issue with one or both cooling fans.

So when you want to check your Subaru BRZ's cooling fan, just turn on the air conditioner. Next, pop the hood and, while the engine is running and with the air conditioner on, look at the cooling fans. In the Subaru BRZ, these are located with the radiator behind the grille.
