Thread: 3.9 efi water pump D1

the oem part is a cast item.

I get all my spare parts from MR automotive in QLD.

There are several providers in the UK such as paddocks and brit parts but IME brit parts quality control is kinda hit and miss and seems to come and go in "patches" whereas paddocks is running about 80% consistantly (this is mainly based upon work Ive done for other people who have purchased their own parts).

i find QH and bearmack to be good stay away from britpart IMO

Stick with the Quinton Hazell,have had a Bearmach which was noisy from day one.

Looking for a new water pump, did the screwdriver check, bearings sound like a bag of nails.

Is Airtex a good brand it has a 3 yr warranty, better than what is offered by other manufactures or QH, want to steal clear of britpart / bearmach too much hassle

I suspect ive a slight water leak from the seal as its used a little water over the last few 500k's, only 1/4 of a litre nothing huge, can't find no other leaks.

Last year had the timing cover off replacing the cam, local signs of pitting, pressed steel impeller water pump, is this the oem design or replacement part?

Would like OEM but the cost is crazy!

Any suggestions?

Airtex are made in Spain,it has a 3 yr warranty one of the oem suppliers. Qh is good quality
