Posted July 26, 200816 yr Hey, i need to get ahold of a water pump for my 1.6 mk6... i know they re-made them in Apr/May 98 so i need the later one... just curious if i could pull one out of any 98+ models? diesel or petrol... if not i'll have to ring around. cheers
July 26, 200816 yr using the numberplate from your Sig...you have the same water pump as all escort 1.6/1.8 zetecs 928X 8591 AA
July 26, 200816 yr so its any 1.8/1.6 zetec 98 +? hang on.....your wanting to use a 2nd hand water pump... Seriously get a new one. £60 +vat from ford.
July 27, 200816 yr why not a second hand one? because you probably dont know how old it is, so it could be getting on quite abit, and for the price difference you may aswell get a new one, they aint that expensive
July 27, 200816 yr Author next question how hard is it to change a water pump? i heard u need to change the timing belt also if you do? is it necessary or can u get away with re using the original one
July 27, 200816 yr you can reuse the original belt and pulleys, but it is a bit like pissing into the wind. you have to take the timing belt off to change the waterpump, if you want to you could refit the old one, but I wouldnt, I wouldnt like to pay to have the timing belt removed and refitted and then pay again when the timing belt needs to be changed
July 27, 200816 yr Author i see... i'll have to get one while im out... is it a hard job to do? if not i can crack on today
