If you notice either of these then it’s time for a replacement. If a pump is corroded or loose then this can be a cause of engine overheating. In addition, an incompatible pump can cause overheating because of malfunctioning or unworkable parts.Check Belts and HosesA loose belt that slips or breached hose that leaks can prevent the water pump from circulating coolant fast enough, prevent the fan from turning fast, and also leak valuable coolant. It is important to check the condition and tension of your car’s belts and hoses. In most cases, hoses should be replaced every five years or when there is noticeable wear and tear. Most likely, your radiator specialist will make checking the belts and hoses his or her first order of business.Check the Radiator ItselfThe most common radiator problems include clogging and leaks, even when not the result of a faulty system listed above. Everything from dirt, bugs and leaves can block airflow and also reduce the radiator’s ability to expel heat. If clogged, the radiator will need to be cleaned or even replaced.Flushing a radiator and cooling system or using chemical cleaners to remove rust or build-up won't do anything to help a clogged radiator. To recap, the most common causes of radiator and coolant system overheating, include:Thermostat – Could be improperly installed, sticking closed, or incompatible.Leaks – A common problem with a variety of different causes.Fan – A bad blade or fan clutch can reduce cooling ability and cause overheating.Water Pump – Will certainly fail in a car’s lifetime, important to ensure proper installation.Belts and Hoses – Commonly causes leaks at connection points or from wear and tear.Radiator – Older copper or aluminum radiators can get clogged and restrict coolant flow.Most car owners take their cooling systems for granted, including replacing the coolant. If the coolant isn’t changed periodically, the passages can form a buildup of sludge that can reduce flow and cooling power. Your car’s radiator coolant should be changed every two years or 30,000 miles so that it doesn’t lose its effectiveness. It’s also important to do regular oil changes because old or dirty oil won’t flow as quickly and this can impede cooling.</blockquote>

Here's a picture snapped by a friend of mine. I passed that area about 9pm, road cleared but slow traffic and I saw a huge dent at the road divider before...
