Water pump?

AERODYNAMIST · Post by **AERODYNAMIST** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 6:07 pm

hi guys my radiator keep running out of water and i notice that sometime water is dripping from under my car. This doesn't happen all the time though. I was told that the waterpump is leaking and have to be changed. Is this true?
if yes can it be repaired or i have to get a new one?
where can i get this water pump and how much does it cost normally?

cheers guys

You can get a new one for $130 last time I looked from RPW.

or theses this one from Yahoo Japan:

is about $90 atm, but commission and postage would be on top of that

Yeah, sh*t of a job. Kempys will do it for about $80NZ plus about $10 postage.

As mentioned, do your timing belt while its out. Its all buried under the timing belt cover.

Back in 1876, a fella by the name of Graham Alexander Bell, invented a little thing called a f**king telephone!

Belt all cam seals/half moon seals, tensioner, water pump might aswell change powersteer alternator belts and make sure they change tensioner bracket bolt too

Yeah, anyone needs anything from here, they just have to shout and I can chase it up. Maybe some kiwi beer for you vip... even with postage it'll still be cheaper than the Aussie stuff!

Kempy's can be really bad at getting back to emails. Phone call is much better way to go with them.

I suppose kempys got all of them you mention above? will give them a call

they should do but you may find other parts cheaper around oz though for example you should be able to get a complete timing belt kit which should include all but the pump........ just dont go to mitsi they will charge like crazy
