General Car Chat / z22yh petrol engine water pump

« on: 05 July 2016, 23:21:10 »

The water pump on these vectra and others runs off the balance chain which i have to change (as the ejit that did the main chain didnt bother)

Any idea how reliable the water pumps are (plastic impellers?) or are they like the v6 pumps, leave alone?

thanks

Does no one take responsibility for there actions anymore?

No prosecution even thou he clearly ducked and dived to keep driving.

The Bath lorry crash resulted in both the driver and operator ending up in court.

Dead handy for autobox top ups too.

New "neighbour" i use the term loosely, is becoming a pain.

Attracting a lot of undesirables who often only stay for a minute and then drive off.

All the coming and goings is generally freaking the wife out.

anyway..

thinking of installing a camera or two but as techno and brands move so swiftly thought it might be good to get the opinion of the knowledgeable ones of oof.

stopped working with the ignition. Was going to ask the question on here but felt the reply would be the polite reminder to read the manual, which i did and fixed it.

So what you read today?

Anybody got one?

Look handy for tight engine bay jobs. Egay choice as confusing as hell when it comes to half decent quality.
