Kit from blauparts.com 30K miles
Italian made water pump by Saleri, epic fail. plastic impeller separated 1/2 year ago , shaft siezed last week causing T-belt to hop over sprocket.
luckily, i turned engine off and towed the car home
This past weekend , I looked at the near disaster . Engine timing still good , no skipped teeth. T-belt worn on its side
Replaced everything with kit from dieselgeek
Moral of the story, stay away from Saleri pumps, at least my experience has been negative.
