CDifficulty 3/5

In a conventional system whose coolant pump is belt-driven from the engine, which component supplies movement to that belt?

Correct answer

a pulley attached to the crankshaft.

A crankshaft pulley supplies movement in this system. The pump circulates coolant through the engine circuit and other components according to its design. Not every engine has the same arrangement: other drives and electric pumps exist. Follow manufacturer instructions for both the drive and suitable coolant.
