Is it safe to drive the car with issues on secondary pump water?

[GTIDriver2024]

Hello everyone, I got into an issue with my car. My secondary water pump is almost hone. The problem is that I have to go on a long drive a few days from now, and I don't know if it safe to drive the car with this issue or not. Any thoughts, please?

It’s very risky to drive with a failing secondary water pump...especially on a long trip, cause it can lead to overheating or engine damage.

Before the drive, I would advise having it checked and fixed to prevent more problems.

Totally agree with @Jaggs. Better to fix it up before your trip than risk breaking down and dealing with some crazy repair costs later.

Yeah, go for a replacement. But I would advise you to go to a local shop (in case you want to avoid replacing parts that don't require a replacement).

This is what I did. Thank you for your advice.
