35i water pump

[mcbutler]

Ok my fellow 35 owners. My water pump makes a ticking sound when it’s running. I noticed this while doing a coolant system air bleed a few days ago.
So question is, should it do this or is it failing?
Maybe one of you guys/gals could run the coolant prime process and let me know.

Thanks in advance

Should be a faint background ‘whirl’ ’ no ticking..

When running the purge process guy may hear air through the pipes but it sounds obviously like air..

Thanks for that, its more of a 'buzzing' kind of tick, like something electronic, will run it past my indy to make sure.
