egi water pump

[zzrpilot]

Hi there everyone my water pump is leaking.
Can anyone tell me if i can get a water pump repair kit
or if a pump of another car fits. Im in the motor trade
but two of my suppliers cant get the pump and i begrudge
paying over the odds because its rx7.I may consider 2nd hand
but obvious prob is it may not last but will give me chance to strip
and source parts for existing 1

Not sure if you can but repair kits or not bud. I think the best place to start is with one of the vendors in the banner at the top of the screen. MRP or Haywood etc would be worth a phone call. They\'d be able to advise if they don\'t happen to have a spare one knocking about.

where is it leaking from? the weep hole?
if it is then i have a new spring gasket to stop it leaking out there think cost me £20 new last year (for sale btw as my wheel snapped when trying to press it out)
BUT you will need to press the pump wheel off and they can break quite easily.
Else im sure tim at rx motors would have a good used pump kicking around in his Aladdins cave.

If you are really struggling to get one in the UK then Rock Auto in America do them for $35 - $66 plus postage.

Thinking about it I may have a pump that is 2nd hand :Giggle off a EGI. Can\'t guarantee the state of it because it came with my 13b 6 port. If you are really struggling then I\'ll dig it out for you !

thanks for the replies so far guys im pretty sure its leaking from the weep hole
ill check tomorrow to be certain the bearings arn\'t us
L18M how much do you want for spring gasket and is this the only seal on the pump?
and Shaunwil how much for the pump if either my bearings have gone
or i break mine putting in seal lol

[shaunwil]

I\'ll dig it out and you can have it for the cost of the postage. One less thing on my parts shelf :Giggle

i\'d like what i paid for. its still in its original packaging but am open to offers as no use to me now.
the only other seal / gasket i can think of is the one between the pump housing then engine block.

oh, fyi, the reason why mine leaked from the weep hole was the cooling system was pressurised. i hope this is not the case with you.

I\'m in on Sunday. Will dig it out for you I\'ve not used it so can\'t really guarantee it will be OK but at least its free !
