Sigi_H Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I allways replaced pump with blue bag stuff, when I changed the timing belt. Never had a problem. Belt, idler, water pump ... I believe the bearing in the pump is constructed for the live of a timing belt, because on other cars the pump is changed with the belt. They sure use identical bearings.

reb78 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I am running the proflow one from here: https://www.lrdirect.com/STC639-Water-Pump-90-110-200Tdi/?keep_https=yes I fitted mine about 2 years ago I think. I think Mo has one too from memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Yup I have a proflow pump, it's now lasted longer than the one previous to that from Turners. If I had the money I'd buy genuine but I haven't so I don't. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

300tditaffy Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I fitted a blue box pump and it leaked from the off, there was lift in the shaft from new. Tried a bearmach pump and had no more problems 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
