waterpumps
« on: 21 October 2012, 19:10:05 »
As above any recomended ones apart from stealers. Had one from allparts fitted with cambelt about 3 weeks ago and it is already howling >:( A bit pee'd off because I made sure it had the metal fins as well.

I bought mine from Buypartsby.
It's been squeeling like a bugger ever since - at least til the engine has warmed up.

My pump from buypartsby lasted 12 months.  Fitted one from the dealers, cost more but what price reliability?

So the moral of the story is that if it's not broke, don't fix the original OE pump when you do your cambelt.  ;) ;) ;)

I would tend to agree. :y
I changed mine at the last cambelt change because I got an SKF one at a price which would have been rude to ignore. ;)

Mine had been on for somewhat longer than that before it was needlessly changed (I thought there was a weep from it - turned out I was wrong  ::))

Originally genuine water pumps were cheap as chips so it was a no brainer to change it "while you were down there".
The price then shot through the roof,so people started fitting pattern versions just to follow the line of changing the pump at the same time as the cambelt. So, there now seems to be two schools of thought on the subject.

So, are genuine water pumps more expensive and better or just more expensive.

£67.49 + vat on TC or £31.52 inc vat for QH at BuyPartsby.  :-\

Decisions decisions.  :-\
