Default 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

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

That also depends what sensor you have in the head for temp gauge as there are so many.
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.

havent had chance to go through it properly as the rocker was off for painting and it’s currently 2 feet in the air in my garage being waxoyled and cleaned with a tooth brush!

once I get the rocker on and put the fuel tank back on I’ll go through it properly!

its finding the time with a young child!!

I'm sure I read somewhere that the cossie water pump has different fins compared to a normal pinto pump??

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

This one aswell note the cast type impeller.

Also if you wanna cross ref what I am saying look at Lee's resto thread white saff which I done all the work on.
There is a pic of the std pump

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.

sorry I forgot yours was 4x4....

I will try and find one.

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
