When water pump started to fail, it did not happen over time. First it was unexpected, a very loud, fan noise from the engine bay. Then it was engine overheating at high ambient temperatures. Took it to the local shop and immediately the mechanic told me the water pump was gone - he is so familiar with the failure that he doesn't need even to test the vehicle. Spent 800 USD to get it fixed.
