Water pumps are responsible for keeping coolant flowing into the engine. It is possibly the most important part of the cooling system. Water pumps have several signs that they are beginning to fail. Water pumps have a weep hole that is normally sealed by the gasket. As the pump begins to fail the gasket will begin to leak allowing coolant to leak from the weep hole. If you see this replace your Mini's water pump immediately.
Your vehicles engine water pump is responsible for keeping coolant flowing through the engine. As water pumps get old the internal bearing can go bad causing noise and a coolant leak. A good indicator that your water pump is failing is if you see coolant leaking through the water pump "weep hole".
Water Pump Failure Symptoms- Coolant leak through weep hole
- Play at water pump pulley shaft indicating a bad bearing
- Squeaking noise coming from pump at idle
- Overheating conditions
- Low coolant light on instrument cluster indicating a cooling system leak
About Graf
Since the early 1920's, Graf of Turin, Italy has quickly become well known as a reliable manufacturer of automotive parts. In the 1960's the company was was bought by a group of business men from Brescia and transferred to Rovato which is in the province of Brescia, Italy.

In July '01 Metelli Co. acquired Graf Spa. In 2003, Graf had been merged by incorporation with Metelli Spa. Metelli Co. exports its products to over 90 countries throughout the world, covering all the continents: Europe, Africa, Asia, America and Oceania. This makes the company a true all-rounder, able to cater for the needs of different markets and, at the same time, convey the image of integrity and reliability that has always distinguished it. The firm has a very mixed customer base: from the independent aftermarket (I.A.M.), to the original equipment suppliers (OES), to the original equipment manufacturers (OEM).
