Water pump recommendations

Smikey · 26-09-2007, 03:01 PM

Looking to get my water pump replaced with the timing belt. No idea what kind of difference this makes for the car. Can anybody recommend a good brand to get for the 97 BA?

You can also use google search with the site: paramter to specify it should just search this site.

eg

water pump site:www.astinagt.com

oooohhhh BA is a fair bit more expensive than BG. $99.25 for a Powermax water pump. Timing belt is $52.50, and timing belt kit $115.

Now thats an awesome parameter, just have to remember it now

Pretty sure i'll be getting the powermax. Is it the standard brand people go for (even when they are getting their mechanics to purchase for them?) price and reliability? increased running mileage?

More availability and accessibility
Add to that Mazda OEM is damn expensive

Don't know, but they're specifically different parts numbers. Might be driven differently, or have a different ancillary come off it.
