I'm needing to get a waterpump for my mig and wanted to know if there are any manufacturers to avoid?
My local BMF have offered me a "frontline" waterpump for £30 inc VAT
Vauxhallpartswarehouse, where I got my cambelt kit from are doing a waterpump for the same price plus postage.
Anyone know if these are any good?
TIA :y

i had a new cambelt fitted (2.0ltr 16v gls auto.4000miles ago) the garage that replaced it also put a new water pump on at no extra charge,but i did buy the car from them,wont hurt to ask how much the job lot will cost.i had no warranty with my car but the after sales service i can recommend! £90.00 all in.(cannock chase auto sales)

Cheers for that mate, but I've already got the cambelt kit and a fellow OOFer is fitting it all for me. I forgot it's best to change the pump at the same time ::)

There are three types out there for the V6
One is based on the original design and has plastic impellers (leave well alone) as the impellers break off.
the 2nd type has a cast impeller works ok but the bolts for the water pump pulley are too long and hit the housing - so shorter bolts are required.
3rd type proper vauxhall one (made by quinten hazel) this type was the later vauxhall design used on all v6 models it has pressed steel impeller - problem is vauxhall put the prices up overnight on this part so expect to pay around £50 - i have one for sale new £35 boxed with seal pm me if you are interested - or ask your supplier which impeller it has

Vauxhall Water Pumps are more expensive than £50... But you are right they doubled in price a couple of years ago :o
