Another water pump
Any of you learned people out there have any info why both my Rover 75 2.5 kv6 engines are chewing through water pumps.?
My 2003 motor had 3 water pumps fitted by the local mechanic over 18 months all with leaking seals.Luckily they were all covered by warranty until they finally got a good one which has lasted thus far 24 months with no issues.
Now the wifes 75 has now developed a water pump seal leak,drips first thing when cold and then after getting warm no leaks,not a drop all day.
Unfortunately this pump was bought online from the UK some 24 months ago and i got an EU made pump (cONTINENTAL) thinking it would be better quality but the car has only done 15,000 km since being fitted.
I would have thought I should get more life out of it than that.
Ive emailed the online company (E CAR) re their 12 month warranty (I see on the box Continental says it carries A 24 MONTH WARRANTY) but no reply as yet
.Is there somthing my mechanic is missing when fitting or is the quality of pumps gone through the floor ?
