I'm having cambelt done on monday, so i thought i'd get waterpump done at same time (car done 63k) i've just ordered a water pump from stealers, should i have gone to eurocarparts? or is it better to get genuine parts?
-
i got my belt and pump done last month and used vw parts i would recommend using the vw stuff when it comes to stuff like this ! just my thoughts :smiley: :smiley:

Given the hassle of fixing it if it goes wrong I think its worth spending a couple more quid on the genuine article. They are only about £30 from the dealers. That said, one with a metal impellor rather than the OEM plastic is probably better.

Why make something in metal when you can make it in plastic and it can last half as long :stupid:
-
if anything was 2 go on iver 1 it would be the bearing not the impellors lol

atm I very much doubt that you'll find a pump with a metal impeller for the Mk5. :sad1:

Cheers guys looks like i made the right choice :grin:
Think i've got a slightly noisy release bearing too, :scared: is it anything to worry about? Will be upping the power in the near future hopfully, so i expect i'll be putting a new uprated clutch anyway! :wink:

Always go genuine on itwms like that as the water pump isnt the strongest part on the mk5 gti. mine was done under warranty at 20k as it was noisey! :surprised:
