On dismantling the water pump on my TD5 due to failed shaft seals, I found that the after-market pump I had put in about 2 years ago had broken or worn off one of it's drive lugs :o , whilst the other was worn too. What the heck would do this :confused::confused:? I can only think that the bearing was momentarily failing, or preloaded too much somehow. Weird, and I don't want my new one to fail too!

I was told to go genuine only on replacement.
Perhaps this is why:eek:

Good luck, Cheers.
