Old is a relative term. The same exact thing happened to nick a year ago.

LOL, hot damn.... did u get to leave it at the seedy XXX video store in slummerville underneath rt 93 again to cool down?


That impeller was plastic on the replacement, right? Isn't there a metal impeller option available?

The BMW OE pump has a black plastic impeller, but it actually lasts a long time. This pump looks to be a Meyle or something like that.

Geba and Graf have pumps with metal impellers.

Plastic impeller ftl! I just helped my cousin change his the other day on his 330i ZCP. I talked him into doing the Stewart high flow pump. He said that he has noticed a big difference with the car warming up sooner.

This reminds me that I have to do a pump on my POS Altima. That is not going to be fun.
