craigowl 0 Posted October 3, 2007 Found this when surfing. Ignore if you know about it. :lol: Prices of Samco hoses, etc are about half price of here, but that is before shipping, etc. They also have 3 types of water pump, including "European style" with metal impeller blades. :shock: I was told by garage here in UK that "we have to change water pumps in many VWs at every big service as the plastic bladed versions supplied for VWs are so fragile." Is there another scam out there, folks? http://www.mjmautohaus.com/catalog/inde ... ath=2_4_19 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craigowl 0 Posted October 3, 2007 This afternoon, I was told by VAG dealer in Stirling that there is only one type of water pump. I guess that is the one with plastic blades meaning "European style with metallic blades" type is not used by them here in UK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
