Chuck, 
 
    Don't look at the water pump.  Look at the temperature gauge on the dashboard (lower left corner of the binnacle). 
 
    If the water isn't being pumped, it won't circulate through the radiator, but will sit in the engine.  The water gauge will tell you very quickly that the water is overheating.

good point Stan, I should have been more clear.
"out the top radiator hose, if connected to the block, and taken off at the
radiator."

HI Chuck.
dang, directly, I don't know, but am sure.
Logic would say, once warm, it should pump water out of the top radiator
hose.....or, the out to the heater core, should have good pressure.
I'd also submit taking the thermostat out, will make it run too hot.
They are made to use it, to the engines advantage, something regarding the
water not going through the radiator so fast it can't cool.
but, you will find several opinions regarding thermostats.

Good luck

Henry

Thanks Henry, the car is overheating. The thermostat is removed, is there a
way to check and see if the water pump is working?

is the car overheating?
also, the water sitting in the block, should achieve a 'static level' where
it sits, and is full.
IIRC ,you'll not see the water circulating, until the thermostat opens.

good luck

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Suggestion on "where to buy" Dash Cover Up"??

 

Eklers comes up because they bought Performance Products.  Apparently Corvettes weren't providing enough business for them.
