What is the situation with the abnormal noise from the water pump of the Jetour X90 Wilderness Edition 1.6T? Is it normal?

Water pump bearing, mine had the same issue at 20,000 kilometers. If it's still under warranty, you can get it replaced for free at the 4S shop.

I couldn't figure out what the sound was.

My 1.6T automatic just went out of warranty and the water pump broke. I had to pay for the replacement myself.

1.6T common issues, lifetime warranty is a joke. The water pump is considered a consumable, with a 3-year or 60,000 km lifespan. An original one costs 1200 yuan, and that's not including labor. If it gets noisy, it's about to fail. If you can hear it while driving with a warm engine, it's time to replace it. It's not a concern when starting a cold engine. I won't buy a domestic car again. It's not about the product; it's about the people.

Based on the video or your description, it's difficult to accurately determine the issue with your vehicle. It's recommended to visit a local service station where professional technicians can inspect it in person. Wish you a pleasant driving experience!
