Have been hearing squeaking from drive belt or pulleys so had to check under hood. Commented on coolant having to be filled for 2nd time that I’ve noticed but also noticed drive belt seems to be tearing. I sprayed a little lube to calm down squeaks for the time being. Anyone else had the same issue and it’s possible I might have water pump issue I’ve read in here.

It was fresh lubricant sprayed to calm the squeaky noise. I should take to dealer asap but it’s only vehicle I have at the moment. Tried to purchase a 2nd vehicle but out of 20 inquiries only got 2 responses.

It’s gotten noisier like hamsters on a wheel but it’s still going. Coolant has gone down again after refill last week. I may drop it off at service Tuesday or Wednesday before I get stranded somewhere.

It was indeed water pump failure which also caused the v-band to start tearing. Vehicle spent a week in service and got back today. Not too bad considering I thought the water pump backorder would have me waiting several weeks. Possible, Ford reps from these forums helped speed up process but either way thankful for them getting involved.

So what looks like damage on the Pulley(s) is from the Belt ? Or didn't they explain anything on how a water pump failure would cause what looks like someone took a grinder to the Pulleys . Just curious .

On pic the pulley seems damaged but it actually wasn’t. Pic is blurry but I went back to triple check on that but the loose threads from belt were simply making the pulley seem damaged on pic.
