Water pump
« on: July 02, 2010, 03:31:36 pm »
I'm having cambelt done on monday, so i thought i'd get waterpump done at same time (car done 63k) i've just ordered a water pump from stealers, should i have gone to eurocarparts? or is it better to get genuine parts?

Given the hassle of fixing it if it goes wrong I think its worth spending a couple more quid on the genuine article.  They are only about £30 from the dealers.  That said, one with a metal impellor rather than the OEM plastic is probably better.

Why make something in metal when you can make it in plastic and it can last half as long :stupid:

atm I very much doubt that you'll find a pump with a metal impeller for the Mk5.   :sad1:

Cheers guys looks like i made the right choice  :grin:

Think i've got a slightly noisy release bearing too,  :scared: is it anything to worry about?  Will be upping the power in the near future hopfully, so i expect i'll be putting a new uprated clutch anyway!  :wink:

Always go genuine on itwms like that as the water pump isnt the strongest part on the mk5 gti. mine was done under warranty at 20k as it was noisey!  :surprised:
