How to check the water pump if its damaged?
Also, cleaning the radiators involves the space between what you can see on the outside (the AC condensers) and the radiator (behind the condensers). You must physically remove the condensers to clean the radiators. I tried to shortcut this by spraying a bunch of water and it does not work. The pump has to be removed and the impeller inspected. If you've gone that far simply replacing the pump makes sense. They are known to go out,so a new one is a good investment.
