svt water pump...

[svtd00d]

does anyone know the best place to find a 2.5L 98CSVT water pump?

and is it difficult to put in yourself?
(special tools, require lots of knowledge to complete?)

im not saying im dumb, but i dont know everything about contours... yet

my engines been running a little hot, and im smelling a wee bit of anti-freeze, so im thinking it could be my water pump...

I think I payed about $80 at Napa when I replaced mine 4 years ago.

Btw, theres a how-to in FAQ on how to replace it.

I payed about $55 for my waterpump with the METAL impeller! I bought it from Murrays. Don't buy another one with the plastic impeller. It is pretty easy with minimal mechanical knowlege and just a few tools. I would flush your coolant when you change your waterpump. Old coolant becomes very acidic and will eat new gaskets, and I'm sure it's not good for the new waterpump!

i bought mine from SP Motorsports. If you have the time/money I'd suggest replacing the housing, that's what failed on my car.

I have a slightly used metal one. $30 shipped to you.

is there any way of telling if theres a metal one on my car. like a part # i can look for? i have no idea if mine has one or has ever been replaced at 100K

I couldn't find a metal impellar pump. And I searched all over SE MI, oh well, I have a life time warranty on the plastic one, so now all it'll ever cost me is time.

That's why you get one from SP dummy.

I didn't have time for SP's BS, I needed my car back on the road ASAP.

I doubt it has a metal pump. Only a CEGer would most likely install one.
