You need to include the engine size and the history related to this issue. With no other information to go on, it sounds like you were told this by a parts salesman.
Was the water pump replaced recently? If so, did the overheating problem start at the same time, or after that? Why was the water pump replaced? At what speeds does the overheating occur; only at low speeds or when idling? Only at higher speeds? Are you losing coolant? What else has been done to try to solve the problem, and what were the results of those repairs?
