What make of water pump is good

[stu9]

For an 03 2ltr hdi C5

Circoli, Saleri, SKF (although that's a kit ie belt ect) or does it matter

[stu9]

I guess with no answers it probably doesnt matter and they're all as good/bad as each other

Where possible I prefer ones with cast bronze impellers. Otherwise, steel over plastic any day.

Suspect many of the "Premium" grade parts sold by certain chains, may simply be the ones with a better profit margin and higher retail.

I changed my water pump recently, I went for the premium one GSF sold and was dissapointed as it had plastic impellor, where as the cheap one had the metal impellor ! They said there was a quality difference in the bearings !
