Water pump

[simon1963]

Has anybody got a good source for water pumps on a 3.0 si. Best I can see is carparts4less at £355. It’s a Pierburg one so should be ok.
My wife is stuck on A17 waiting for AA as the cars overheated. 84000 miles and to my knowledge never been changed so sounds favourite to me.
Thanks in advance.

Check ebay. I remember them being around the £250 mark.

Lots cheaper and quick shipping too.

Will that thermostat fit?
I’ve heard aftermarket ones aren’t a direct fit.
Wondering if it’s worth replacing that as well?

As far as I know that is a direct swap. They supplied a stat made by Mahle and they are OE suppliers.

Thanks, worth a punt then.
