I did my own searching, but really couldn't find an answer. The guy at the dealership parts counter refused to sell me a water pump for my 2000 SVT because he said my 2000 SVT water pump had no plastic parts in it. Did he just lie? ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif) I didn't think about asking to see one while I was there, and now I feel a little too silly to go back there w/o knowing for sure. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/troutslap.gif) Thanks,

Umm take it out and hit him in the head with it. Why are you getting a Ford part when the original is defective? Why not get the Napa w/ metal prop?

So the question in do all the Csvts have the plastic water pumps or just certain years?
I thought Ford addressed this problem in the later years i.e. 2000+ ?
I guess I'll have to change mine.

Ford did address the problem with a more durable plastic impeller, which based on feedback on this site fails much less frequently than the older style.
Sure, it still fails, its a mass produced mechanical part. However, the rate of failure seems to be significantly reduced.

I can't believe he lied. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif)
Thanks, I'll get one, probably from Napa, and replace it when I flush the system.

why would he refuse to sell you a part? I would have said, I don't care, I'd still like to order the part.

My 99 has the new white plastic impeller in it. 70k miles & counting without a hint of any bad news.... I'll be changing the coolant & thermostat for spring tune-up season so I'll pull it out & take a very close look then.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

He was scarey looking. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif)
Just kidding. He didn't want to sell it to me because he thought SVTs never had plastic in their water pumps. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif)
I'm glad he/we didn't know; I'd prefer to buy it from Napa, now.
