Euro car parts water pump cossie

Hi all

ECP still list a water pump for the cossie using my registration. The photo I think is stock photo but my question is has anyone used one from here?

its £40 yet eBay all cossie ones are circa £140

i suspect ECP perhaps think it’s a 2.0 Sierra not a Sierra cosworth?

anyone know?

thanks
russ

Pinto's are alloy construction and just have a alternator to drive.
Cossies are cast iron and stronger due to the twin pulley / ribbed belt design which drives pas,alternator, and AC on some cars.

One of the first pinto's to use the stronger type of water pump was the 2.0i sport sierras. From then on they used the stronger type.
same with 2.0 mk3 Granada's

you need to borrow a laser temp gun and see what it's actually doing and when the fans come on etc.
fans come on around 92 degrees and go off 87 degrees while on the move should be in the mid 80's.
Think I am running a 82 degree stat.
Hope that helps.

early ones alloy bodied ones are not one piece later steel bodied ones are one piece fins/ rotor if that make sense.

Again it's just cossie tax

Oh fuck yes it does so scrap Everthing I said 4x4 ones are even harder to get hold of and the thermostat used to be very expensive.

Don't ! you cannot take the thermostat out on a 4x4 set up, it also directs the flow to other parts of the engine so removing it will give you hot spots
