Syncro water pump

1
Has anyone had any recent need to purchase a replacement water pump for their Syncro? Mine has decided to pack it in, the second one to do so since I have owned the vehicle.
Just Campers can get them on 'special order' but I was hoping to find an Australian 'in stock' supplier. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey Jon,

    Alan Atkins at Stokers VW Parts     http://www.stokersvwparts.com.au/        normally has most Syncro bits & pieces & i haven't seen him mentioned in any post over the last few years.  Can be a bit expensive but whats your bus worth in the long run. 

Al was a great mechanic but unfortunately retired a few years ago & my Syncro was his last job in the garage. I've done my own work since then.

Hope his helps


    Cheers     Dave Cash

Any competent engineering outfit can easily recondition your old waterpump as long as the impeller and housing are not corroded. Failing that, most independent VW parts suppliers carry them in stock. Tooley Imports in Sydney are a good place to start.

He didn't touch the transmission, that was done in Sydney by the previous owner. It jumps out of gear in reverse down hill which i don't enjoy.

re: "He didn't touch the transmission,"
All good then.
Better buy yourself a lottery ticket.

Jon,

Oh ok then .... no ideas for you locally.

I agree with Roger ... Tooley Imports at Waitara in Sydney would ship it to you.


Cheers.
