86 94 water pumps
Another question - I got this 86 944 last month. How can I tell if it has the latest water pump on it? I'm taking it to a shop to have the belts changed and don't need the added expense if it already has the latest pump.
Thanks, Ron |

If the shop is doing the belts, have them measure the diameter of the idler roller. The newer water pumps used an idler with 46.2mm dia. vs the old one, 32.0mm. There should also be a guard rail for the timing belt if it has a new style pump. Also if the car was manufactured after July 1986 it has the newer style pump. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply everyone. I have a NEW pump on the way, and the shop will install it for me. I also have the installation kit coming - If I need it they'll put it on, if not I can send it back.
Great discussion board, folks! I'm sure I'll have more questions....... |
