Hi all,
Just got another Water pump fitted and it was only 8 months and 4000 miles since the last one was fitted, I bought the kit with belts from Euro car parts initially for around £120.
Driving along and a squeak started followed by a knock, then it got worse and stopped the car, it sounded like very randomly noisy camshafts together with a hammer hitting the top of the engine.
Put it into a local garage and they said the Water pump was away again, after me being very angry for a while the mechanic said the bearing had collapsed on the recently fitted pump, they also said it was a faulty Water pump that had initially been supplied by their reckoning with no other indication of anything causing the pump to go,, Just my luck!
Euro car parts replaced the pump free of charge but wouldn't replace the full kit or compensate me for repair caused buy their faulty component much to my annoyance, the major issue here being had the belt slipped it was bye bye engine and a very expensive repair.
The garage charged me a very reasonable £120 to replace the pump thankfully, hate to say it but, I won't be buying any items like that again from Euro Car Parts.
Thought I'd let you know about this.
Cheers
Doug
