Is it possible to replace this hose fitting on the water pump?

Post by HypnoToad »

Hi,

I've recently managed to replace the moving parts of my waterpump by putting in a new shaft, bearings + impeller.

Before I install the waterpump back on the car, I was wondering if the ~16mm diameter hose fitting can be replaced as the one on my pump has seen better days:

I'm not sure on the proper answer but if not, I'd try to sleeve it if it's NO.

edit - is that a double negative? :shock: :roll: :lol:

It needs machining out and replacing. You can still buy replacement stubs (A910E1909F). Any competent machine shop will be able to machine out the old one, but make sure you have the new one first to check the dimensions. This needed doing before you did the other work though!
