Water pump OE or aftermarket?

sandyt · Jan 24, 2011

Right well I can get an OE for about 80 quid (ouch ) or an aftermarket for 20 odd quid anybody any advice also how can you tell if the waterpump has stopped working I have no noise and no overheating but there is no evidence of it working as usual any advice good or bad relevant or not taken on the chin

why do you want to change it then ,what engine

if theres no noise and no overheating then whats the problem

if theres noise and overheating then worry, if theres a leak on it then worry.
if you are paying £20 for a waterpump make sure it doesn't say britpart on it or the box

The cheap ones arn't worth having, buy the best you can if you really need one!

well something moving the coolant about if you look in expansion bottle a litte over flow pipe from rad goes into it you can see it flowing when engines running proves pumps working
