+ 1 i would not put an ac delco or a reman water pump in my bimmer either..it is time for me to change mine on my 545 and dealer listing is 316 dollars for the part...labour is free...hehehe. becuase i will be doing it myself... plus i got the thermostat and thermostat o ring all for just under 400 brownies..hahaha

 

Is there a list somewhere on this forum that lists the best Indy shops in each region (or state). I live in Virginia and I would love to know where the best indy shop is after my warranty expires.

 

i thought id let you guys know that i have replaced my water pump and it was very easy....time consuming but easy...except for one bolt that holds down the water pump to the engine block..(lowest bolt closest to the crank pulley...) with a little patience and a tight fit i was able to wiggle it out..very glad i have changed it and now dont have to worry about it anymore...if anyone needs help on removing their water pump i will be more than glad to help..

regards,

Roger
