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:

http://page17.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v56476576

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

I think cheapest would be through kempys in NZ

If is water pump do timing belt while your there and seals etc
and no cant be repaired the items are not expensive but time involved is

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.

Thats if you can get a hold of kempseys last time i tried they didnt reply

You should of said simon i'm sure myself or Grue would be happy to get in touch over here much cheaper for us to call

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

A tele...WHAT?

I dont have time for phone calls

Cheers vip, will do that next time even though you will be over here

sweet as simon still have lots of contacts here mate lol

damn have to spend a lot in labour then.........oh well got to be done

what else should i change guys other than timing belt? any suggestion where to get them cheap?
cheers

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.

yeah grue that would be sweet will miss spieghts and pure stienlager these bloody aussies have no idea what real beer is VB? enough to put a man off beer for life

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

yeah i try autobarn in OZ they quote me 179 for the timing belt alone, what a rip off.........
try kempys they dont pick up the phone
