Sorry in advance if this is a bit difficult / obscure to answer. Have tried a search.

So i'm in Australia with a 2000 Mondeo (imported from Europe to Aust). and i'm starting to get a bit worried about the notorious water pump as i've got 45000km on board and i just had the cooling system flushed etc at service the other day (standard 45km service)

I recall reading that the later (?) versions had a better (?metal) impeller or something.

I ask b/c i'll look at replacing if needed, but over here will cost $$$$$ (1 aussie = about 2c US lol)

Does anyone know if this is correct? I guess those members based in the UK may know the answer to this, but there's enough knowledgeable people on the boards that someone US may know.


Thanks


James
