Title: Waterpump recommendations..
Post by: Stallion on 10 August 2011, 04:36:19

As the title says, after a waterpump but was thinking do i go to vx or there are other after market/OE parts which are good enough to use, would appreciate OOF'ers experiences. Thanks  :y

I received a Quinton Hazel one with my cambelt etc package from BuyPartsBy.

It works fine but the body of the pump where it mounts on the block was thinner than the std VX which meant that the VX bolts fould the impellor -   Edit The three pulley bolts fouled the fins on the body of the pumpeasily fixed with spacers under the bolt head on the pulley.

Mine was the same.

I used shorter bolts as I had some. Standard M6x20 if I remember correctly
