EJ Taylor 22 Posted November 23, 2012 i have gone through 2 water pumps this year, snapping props off, between me and a few friends, we suspect that the may have came from the factory with a water pump with some sort of metal props on the pump fan? does anyone know the answer to this? or know if you can still get them? THANKING YOUUUUUUUUUUUU! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewvw 10 Posted November 23, 2012 Originals had plastic impellers, genuine new ones should be metal. I got a ford galaxy one and that was metal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 23, 2012 Dealer ones are still plastic. Well, they are on the 24Vs at least. The pattern metal ones I found were useless and just clogged up the secondary pump with metal shavings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewvw 10 Posted November 23, 2012 My pump was a volkswagen manufactured part. Dunno about metal shavings in my aux pump though, bloody hope not! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nrc 0 Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Removed my original pump t'other day and it had metal fins, one of which had snapped. Still looking for the piece... New one from TPS is plastic. Edit: on closer inspection the original fins do seem to be plastic but really worn and pitted. Edited November 24, 2012 by nrc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EJ Taylor 22 Posted November 26, 2012 Sound! Appreciate every response, helped me out a lot, yer my problem is my old one lost ever impella prop, so they must all be in the system, this is not good, and i can see any easy way of extracting it all, other than remove rad, flush through with a hose?
