I haven't heard of these, and frankly I can't imagine any need for one, or to put it another way if someone does need one he's probably beating the hell out of his car in other respects as well. I say save your money, if you're not aware of it already just be sure to get a metal pump, not one of the infamous ceramic ones. |

It all sounds like advertising hype to me. If it's about the same price as a regular, metal impeller pump, then go for it if you wish, otherwise I can't see spending any additional money. Aside from that notorious ceramic impeller problem, I'm not aware of water pumps being a particular problem. Good coolant system maintenance is the prudent way to go, with regular complete flushing (including engine block) and use of a properly formulated coolant. |
