im new to this so be patient. was wonder if getting enough water to engine to cool it. so i took off the cover and removed the water pump case.took out rubber impeller. there is one rubber tooth missing and another thats half gone. im sure this needs replaced. but biggest concern is to me it looks as if the silver case the impeller sets in is not perfectly round. its kinda oval shaped and these rubber teeth are scrunched up in one place. is this the way its supposed to look?

Re: water pump impeller

What kind of drive? in Mercs the case is off center and the pump vanes do bunch up, this is how it pumps...my biggest concern would be where is the broken pump vane? it may have gone thu the system or it may not have...most likely, it has hung up in the power steering cooler...in any case, you need to make sure it's not in the system as it will block the flow of water and cause over heating........good luck
