I have just bought one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280506859610&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
 I have looked into it and they are made by SKF  and apparently are the same as the omega. He has 4 left

Looks like a good price only then again no warranty. :-/ :-/ :-/

I can live without the warranty for 18 quid delivered, especialy as its an SKF pump and not a crappy one

Read this post with interest as i work at SKF and the price is indeed very cheap. If you did purchase one of these water pumps i would be interested to hear if it came in original SKF packaging. As a company, we have audited some of our distributors recently and found a few cases of counterfit bearings being sold to buyers. I am not implying that these pumps are counterfit, there may be a perfectly acceptable explanation, old stock etc. but they are being sold very cheap as i know how much these cost to manufacture. All our products are made to highly exacting standards and i would not like anyone to buy one of our supposed "products" only to have it fail shortly afterwards thus giving the company a bad name and unfair reputation and the Omega owner a costly bill.

I will let you know about the packaging when I get it

I only bought this pump as a spare, as I dont need one just yet. I came across it whilst looking at the sellers other items after buying a Mercedes 190 water pump off him for 15 quid delivered, this arrived today 36 hours after I bought it. the guy seems genuine and has excellent feedback. I did notice that he has a borg&beck clutch for an Omega for 50 quid.

Arrived today. Looks like the genuine article

The body where the bolts go looks a decent thickness. The QH one I bought was really thin and the std VX bolts caught inside. Had to fit spacers. Worth checking when fitting.

Is that a plastic impeller?

[Bent valve]

Is that a plastic impeller?

No, its cast iron by the look of it.

[TheBoy]

I ordered one I'm expecting to arrive tomorrow, thanks

[Lazydocker]

Yep... Thanks for that. I've just ordered one for the cam belt change later this year

[Stallion]

Is this suitable for a 3.2 or only 3.0? 

[Bent valve]

Is that because you are (belatedly) doing your cambelt

[Bent valve]

Is this suitable for a 3.2 or only 3.0? 

As far as I know all v6 are the same.
