Title: waterpump fitting
Post by strebor on Dec 19^th, 2007, 6:10pm

Hello new member here I have been reading the post for a while now and found lots of very good advice on various problems I've had thanks to all all who have contributed .
My latest problem is a leeking water pump there seems to be conflicting opinions about replacement parts being avalable (FMD/Patern) I have perchased a new pump from a friend in my local spares shop who says its the correct one (2.9 1997 Scorpio Ghia X) It doesn't look right because of the bend on the large inlet/outlet I have check the manufacturers web site where its listed
[http://www.firstline.co.uk/op3/product_set.php?mode=5&type=PV&m meid[1]=1392&make=Ford&model=Scorpio&variant=-&subvariant=-&engine=2.9i&product=Water%20Pumps

Anyone know the truth about this mistery if this pump is correct it will save members a lot of money I paid 42 pounds (with my discount)

ps how do i put pictures on here

You dont say if your car is a 2.9 12 valve or 24 valve ? Same capacity but VERY different engines (inc water pump)

the 2.9 12v and the 2.9 24v have very different pumps http://i8.tinypic.com/6b0q77n.jpg the cosworth (24v) pump is on the left, the 12v on the right

the web site you listed shows the 12v pump listed for the 24v

Had the same problem today, took off the leaking water pump, tried to fit a new one...wrong one, even though it's listed as a 24v BOB engine waterpump...the motor factors say that it is the right one, according to all their computers and catalogues, but it so obviously isn't...can't put the old one back on because it's so worn it's not moving any water around, so up sh*t creek without the proverbial paddle... ;o)

Does any-one have the Ford part number for a '96 (P) Cosworth waterpump?

(Been checking the Internet, same thing, 2.9 24v BOB engine listings, but they're all trying to sell the 12v version of the waterpump instead of the 24v...doesn't any-one check these things before they waste our time flogging us cr*p that doesn't fit? -disgruntled Scorpio owner ;o) )
