Anyone got any scrap water pumps lying about as I want to see if they are rebuildable.

For what car?

I have a broken 2.5 944 in the drive which I could take the pump off of for you.

Cheers

Just had mine changed, i'll see if he still has it. Only problem is i live in Brussels, folks could bring it back just after xmas?

I saw a rebuild kit on an American site somewhere,The S2 pump is loads of money.

They come apart quite easily and they would be easy to rebuild, just press off the impellor and then the pulley (or the other way around) then you need a bearing / shaft ass'y and a seal.
I have got a friend that works for one of the largest bearing / seal distributers in the UK looking to see if he can get the parts.
The bearing may be quite easy and I am waiting for him to get back on the seal.
I will post the details when he gets back to me.

Finally the friend got back to me and says that the bearing would be no problem but the seals are a special and he cannot get them.
Looks like there's no cheap solution !

Does he work for Beldam or Klinger. If one doesn't do the seal, the other will.

You can get seals made to order from places that do reconditioned rams for HGVs. Used to do this all the time & they cost pennies. Rebuilt a hydraulic jack once for under a fiver!

Most water pumps are the same, after 85 they sirguest using turbo style when changin. Iv got a water pump that came off my 1988 S. Any good for ya?

Yep, will take anything as long as it is not too rotten!

No it's not rotten, and prob didn't need changing as the belts/rollers e.c.t look fine. Iv noticed u brake and sell alot of 944, I'm looking 4 a driver side turbo/s2 headlight lid and plastic souround, and under trim, if u want 2 swap 4 ethir?
