2000 Chevy Impala with a Loud Whine and overheats
2000 Chevy Impala. Brand New Radiator, Topped off Reserve Tank and Radiator and I still get a low coolant light. Also, the car overheats slightly beyond comfort. Also I heard a loud high pitch wine. It does not matter if the car is idle or driving. It is loud and very annoying. Could it be the water pump? This sound and overheating issue was prior to replacing the radiator.

Yes, it culd be the water pump that is failing and leaking. When level drops, overheating would occur.
