Technical Water pump choice

[wozwozza]

Hi all,

Quick one for the gurus.....

Bought the gf a punto grande (shes always been a Seicento girl)

Its the 1.2 8v Engine Code- 199 A4.000 Engine No- 3166367


Looking to do the water pump/timing belt this coming weekend as it says was done 2 years ago/8000 miles ago, but we have no proof, and it sounds a bit whirry, like the belt thats on it is a tad too tight..... Anyway i digress.

Theres two options for water pump from both the factos ive asked, (only one part number i can see on EPER (55198547)

Factors insist theres two choices, a pierburg or a tesma (comline numbers EWP 069 and EWP 115) One plastic deep impeller the other is metal and more shallow.

Now ive had a good look around the engine bay, and i cant find any brand or manufacturer tags or names apart from FIAT

Just to add a little confusion, the timing belt kits that come with the waterpump, dont seem to have the same choice. Very strange......:bang:

Anyone shed any light? Normally id order both and return what i dont use, but the price difference between factors and online is quite stark ive found, so im looking at ordering offline and saving a few bob.

Are they interchangeable?

Any help appreciated

There are two different water pumps, hence the two kit numbers. I bought a myle kit and ended up having to change it. Belt and tensioner were the same.

Pump on left was my original the one on the right was with the first kit I got. My motor factors just swapped it for the correct kit.

Correction, it was an SKF kit. The correct kit number was VKMC 02206-2. Surely your motor factor will accept a return. Mine was the same price as online! £70 all in, done in February.

Thanks for the response. I wonder why eper just has the one part number.....

Why two designs ? Have the same issue when quoted for 1.4 engine.
Flow output same?
One tropical areas, other for cold climates?
