VZ has the 3.6 V6, not the same pump as the earlier models

I have asked the guy selling the other ones if he can source a VZ one.

Hang on , take it easy on him, unless you KNOW what some others do actually cost and what their quality is like surely ! He may be a mechanic who knows what one is WORTH and just gets sick of the usual enquiry of"I want it going brilliant without spending any $$" 100 times a day like most NZ motorists .

So it OK for Mr Grumpy to have a go at others but not for others to call him on it!
I am not looking for cheap and nasty. I was after brands of water pumps. So I would have some ideas when I rang around places for prices.

So why bother asking then! If all your concerned with is price buy a Cherry or Geely

BTW GMB have a plant in Thailand now, in fact I am not sure if they still make ANY in Japan anymore.If it says "Made in Japan" on the box it is a Japanese one, if it says "Distributed by GMB Japan" it is a Thailand made one.

Didn't the OEM water pump have a plastic impeller! Avoid.

GMB are one of the most common pumps on the market. We fit heaps of them and have little troubles.
