Worth a punt or avoid like the plague?

Also on CP4L for couple quid more:

Given the hassle involved with replacing the waterpump and the potential risk if it fails, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to me to buy a cheap unbranded pump just to save a few quid.

Buy something that is a known quantity from a reputatable supplier would be my advice.

I got a gates cambelt kit with water pump for £85 from my motor factors which I fort was pretty good tbf

[silverzx]

I already have a quality Cambelt kit just need a waterpump. Engines out so it's no bother fitting it.

I've used those without issue.

Exactly this!

Last one I got was Motaquip and I got it for a tenner. It looked exactly like the OE part that came off, and likely is, given they are a PSA company.

Or this one as it has a gasket / 2 year warranty.

My local Mills can do a miratec one for £22+VAT but is that even much better?

Valeo for £33.62: http://www.mister-auto.co.uk/en/water-pu...06117.html

Reputable company?

3 Variants?

Which is it?

Valeo?

[silverzx]

Valeo?

Theres 3 varients with different "diameter slogs": 68, 69, 70.5.

Read it properly Tom!

What is diameter slogs anyway!?

Waterpump is definitely not an area I would want to be cheaping out on. Not only the pump that isn't upto standard but the gasket supplied with cheap ones are often shit to the point where they don't do any sealing atall. Case and point, I currently have a car stuck in my workshop because of a cheap shit waterpump gasket

[silverzx]

Think I might buy one from Mills locally, it's not valeo but at least if it doesn't fit / I have problems I can return it.. :/

No online retailer (I can see) sells Valeos.

The previous site I linked has terrible reviews.

[Tom]

Haha sorry mate i didnt have a clue what you meant

Is it not worth just getting a pug one? Just for the piece of mind it'll fit, work, and not be a problem...

Peugeot genuine: £48.02 with gasket.
Part number: 1201a8.

MillsAutoSupplies £20.25 (gasket?)
Part number: MPA1017.

£50 for a water pump is slightly extensive...!

i've used mister auto quite a few times before. I think the main issue is when people come to return stuff, it becomes a headache. Though buy the correct part in the first place

Oh you have?

Perhaps I'll go with them, dunno! Doesn't make a difference when I order it over the weekend now..!

First line is what Peugeot give for the gti6.

[Paul_13]

Will I bought genuine one on eBay and they sent first line out. Looks much beret made than the circoli one I have.

We use alot of QH pumps and they seem ok, firstline is just ok imo.
