Bad water pump noise

Tracked down the terrible grinding sound on my Scion xB to a worn out water pump.

how many miles you got on that engine?

@jango1968 I swapped engines at 209,000 and the one I put in had the bad pump but unknown miles. First engine never had any issues with a pump.

Did you notice any over heating?

@AnfinnChr No the pump was still working the bearing was just starting to go.

On my Mazda 3 the idle tensioner made that sound. Its a 200 dollar part. My xd is making a gravel like sound probably the water pump.

I have a scion xD with about 24000 miles. Just took it to the dealer cause i heard this grinding noise and my car would shake a little if it was in park...anyways...found out it was the water pump. It was under warranty so that was good. I was driving the car without problems for about a month or so...just got tired of the noise...

I was driving in the front of the store about 2mph, and i heard something like my car is really low and scrap the bottom, then sec. later, smoke start comming from under my hood.and antifreeze started to pooring down. do i need to change the water pump or what?i don't drive my car anymore.i pulled it from the store to my house.the car still working, the engine still good, just i don't know what's wrong with it. thank you guys for taking your time and read this. is that mean it's a water pump?

I am a chevrolet person however, I couldn't find that chevrolet I was looking for in my price range so I recently purchased a 2004 sport trac xlt 4x4, I used to drive a 2007 model at my old job and hated it but mine looks and drives much different and I love mine, it had all the options I was looking for. My boyfriend recently replaced the thermostat and I was still loosing water.Today it kept cutting off on me and the 4th time it made a winding noise and now will not crank but will turn over?
