Water pump (1.6 B6 engine)

Quality replacement water pump. Not a bad idea to do when you're doing a timing belt. One year warranty. The brand may vary, but we only use quality products that we're willing to put in our own vehicles.

We've searched high and low for a water pump with a cast impeller and they no longer exist as far as we can tell. We have tried multiple different sheet metal impeller water pumps and only carry the best of those, as they're certainly not all created equal. We've searched high and low for a water pump with a cast impeller and they no longer exist as far as we can tell. We have tried multiple different sheet metal impeller water pumps and only carry the best of those, as they're certainly not all created equal. We've also consulted with our friends at Meziere (water pump pros) about a CNC-machined impeller and they were of the opinion that we wouldn't do much better than this, regardless of how much we spent.  So rest assured that this is an excellent water pump with great performance and long life. 

Includes gaskets and o-ring.

Fits all B6 blocks, including non-Miata applications as long as the timing belt idler threads into the pump and not the block.

Be aware that you might have slightly limited travel on the tensioner with this water pump, resulting in a tight timing belt install (it's not overly tight during operation, just installation). It's inconsistent, but worth the risk for the improved performance. Easy clearancing (of the tensioner arm or water pump housing) can solve this problem if you're unable to get the timing belt into place easily. Ask us if you have any questions.
