Post Water Pump
My water pump pulley is fouling the suspension tower when accelerating.

I'm looking at inline electric pumps instead, but think £140 for a Davies-Craig is a bit OTT

Anyone know if the VW/Audi "auxilliary water pump" will do the do, or will they be underpowered?

PPC magazine used a central heating pump in their V8 transit, driven from an inverter (if that helps)

...........I have got one of these on the 'BBC' Charge cooling system. I was very inpressed by the amount of flow but, I'm not so sure about supplying enough volume for a 1.6 Toyota :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Cheaper option

fit another engine steady or increase clearance if possible, i have a well placed little cutuout o nmy tower to allow the waterpump casting a little more clearance on the honda, plus it fits nicely around the cone like it was made to fit the profile!

The audi/vw pump is called an auxillary pump for a reason if you get my drift. i have one from a bmw sitting on a hook in the workshop for when its needed.
