mkoch Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I am looking for a source for a quality water pump, to order online. The story why is below: Today was an interesting day for me and a passenger. For the past 500 miles or so, there was a rattle or knocking at idle, to up to about 2000 rpm. It sounded like a loose heat shield on the exhaust system, so I did not put a repair at high priority. At highway speed today, I started hearing what sounded like pinging at about 3,500 rpm and above. It was a little worse under load. I noticed the car was running hot (when I looked down the temp gauge was pegged in the red). I pulled onto the side of the highway, let the engine cool enough that I could look down the fill hole for the radiator, and I saw no coolant. I drove another 1/2 mile, with the engine merely hot (as opposed to pull-over-now-hot) to a place with radiator fluid. I put about a quart in the radiator, while the engine was running. The alternator belt started smoking, and I noticed the water pump was seized. I don't know the condition of the pump before I put the radiator fluid in. My AAA membership paid for itself today! I would like to know the best place to order Subaru water pumps online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Best place to get a water pump is anywhere that has the cheapest price on Atsugi water/oil pumps. They are the OEM supplier for Subaru. Your dealer isn't even that expensive so that's definitely an option. I find myself rarely buying parts anywhere else. www.subaruparts.com seems to be one of the cheapest online dealers around. Part number is 21110AA060 For $56 (+$9.95 shipping) I don't know why you would bother going anywhere else. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
