Hi
We stopped using "partco" about 5 years ago because of there suspect parts, we had so much comeback we could have gone bust.
Just check out the thickness of a genuine cam belt against a "cheap" alternative, then imagine what corners they are cutting on things like a water pump.
In "partcos" case, it is a case of "getting what you pay for"
Regards
Mike

Try Autovaux mate. I doubt they will charge you more than £25 for a genuine pump (check its genuine though). Or find someone with a Vx trade club card..

Always change the water pump, and although it's more expensive, I would always go for genuine Vx parts.
False economy to fit pattern part.
