The reason: both system components have the same mileage and amount of wear. Therefore, if only one component is replaced, the second is likely to require replacement shortly after.MEYLE workshop advice No. 2: When replacing the water pump, the entire cooling system needs to be flushed thoroughly prior to refilling the system with new coolant.
