Determing which waterpump I have

[Scotty714]

Well I'm ordering rollers for the belt and roller change on my 87 924S and and have been trying to determine whether i need parts for the new style waterpump or the old style. I have not been able to find the engine serial #, if anyone knows where it is please let me know but i have been unsuccessful so far. There is a sticker above the drivers side wheelwell in the engine compartment that says the car was manufactured in 6/87, so would i be correct in determining that it has the turbo style waterpump? I read on Clarks Garage that the cars manufactured after July 87 all used new style pumps. Thanks for the help!

I believe that the "new" style pump is the 951 pump, which can be used on the 944. IIRC, the 951 pump has an extra outlet (to cool the turbo?).

Take the top portion of the front cover off, if you have the metal belt guard then you have the updated pump.

Thanks man, now if only it wasnt so damn cold outside lol. I'll try to take a picture of it with the cover off if i can't tell whether it has the belt guard.

Bruce has pictures of both styles of waterpumps @

With a good description of the differences

Good stuff, so basically the main visual difference is just the two privisions for the cam belt seperator bar.

Yup!
If there is a belt guard and/or belt guard posts, it is an updated pump.
