I'm in the process of getting a new water pump and alot of places I have called they offter a rebuilt one for less $$ and well is it worth it or not is the question.


car: 99 Cavi 2.4

Thanks

how much is your water pump? when mine went bad i went to pep boys and got one and it only cost me 35 bucks. then again i have a 2.2 so i dont know if there is anything different with the pump besides the location on the motor

It would seem a rebuilt water pump should be one of the easiest for rebuilders
to achieve as high on their art of "rebuilding"..

My opinion, used water pumps have so much corrosion, a reliable rebuild is
difficult...

While rebuilt water pumps are usually fine, and will often last as long as new pumps....

When it comes to 2.4's, I would say go with new....for peace of mind.

Because the 2.4 naturally likes to destroy WP's, and the PITA process to replace it (or the amount of money spent having someone else do it), you want to know that you won't have to replace it again anytime soon.
