Title: Which water pump?
Post by: Osprey on 27 April 2011, 18:06:33

Hi gentlefolk.

Back after a long period of bad elf - good to see the forum is still going strong as ever.

Anyway, service time looms and I'll be doing the timing belt and water pump on my 2.6.  Which makes of water pump have you found to be reliable? 

Is the Febi OK (seems to be widely available)?  Is whatever BuyPartsBy is selling produced by anybody good? 

Any thoughts appreciated.

If your OE water pump isn't broke, don't fix it. There's no reason to change a V6 water as a matter of course.
