Flavia 2000 Water Pump.

[Caracad]

Water pump is making a noise. It’s also possible to wiggle the pulley by hand so some play there.
It was refurbished before I got the car and isn’t leaking. I assume the bearing has worn prematurely.

Any advice anyone?

Cheers

I'd suggest removing it and replacing bearings with sealed type.
You can get a bit of movement and no leakage now because the seal face is spring loaded/ self-aligning to some extent.
