Default OVERHEATING! Help.

Hi guys. Can anyone tell me where the water pump is and how it is driven? My 94 import wrx is overheating like mad. When I put the heater on in the car it blows cold. This tells me that the water is not circulating. Any help gratefully receivrd. Cheers. Mark.

Or it could be the head gasket and it doing it because the water level has dropped. The pump is at the front Rt hand lower corner as you look at the engine. It's drive by the cam belt so unlike it's stopped.

Speak with David at API for advice.
