Title: Metal water pump for 2.5TD
Post by: SR-71Blackbird on 23 October 2013, 21:41:39

Hi all,

Does anybody know the part number or have a link for a metal water pump for the TD, ie the metal vanes or version and not the plastic one?

Thanks

If they're anything like petrol BMW engines, you'll struggle to find a plastic impeller.

Do you mean I will struggle to find metal? Metal is want I want so if its easy to find then great.

I meant plastic.
But you're right, I should have written 'metal pumps are much easier to find.'

Firstline FWP 1588 Bmw water pump, obtained from SES Ltd.
I fitted this 3 years ago and its been absolutely fine.
I run without the viscous fan fitted!

Most of these, including the GM and LR ones (straight from BMW), as plastic impellors. And shit.

I only fit Unipart metal-impellered water pumps on the TDs; and've had no issues whatsoever with 'em.

Part number is UGCGWP2585 ... around 40 quid from Unipart stockists.
