Fitment Notes
- Always verify the OE part number stamped on your existing water pump before ordering. Fitment data is provided as a guide and may not cover every sub-variant.
- This pump is supplied without housing — your existing pump housing must be in good condition and is reused during installation.
Installation / Use / Maintenance Tips
- Drain the cooling system completely before removing the old water pump to minimise coolant loss and contamination.
- Clean all gasket mating surfaces thoroughly and use the supplied gaskets and seals — do not reuse old gaskets.
- Inspect the thermostat, radiator hoses and drive belt while the pump is accessible; replace any worn components at the same time.
- Refill with the manufacturer-recommended coolant type and concentration, and bleed all air from the system before starting the engine.
- Run the engine to operating temperature and check for leaks around the pump housing, hose connections and bleed points.
