Default Identifying Cabriolet replacement water pump - 03-23-2005 , 12:25 PM







Good morning! I have an '89 Rabbit Cabriolet (1.8, SOHC, set up fo
a/c) and have a leaking water pump (unless, by some stroke of luck, i
turns out to be a hose connection at the pump!)... My question: I
there a way to determine the type of water pump (the parts stores see
to list four, varying from a 30mm to 40mm hub and different bol
patterns, etc.) used upon this year and particular engine (short o
actually removing the covers and pump, etc.)? I realize this is no
the ideal way to go about it but with funds being quite tight, th
pumps not being in stock (thus the need to know which pump i
particular) and not having alternative transportation to use while th
car is down, I'd like to be able to identify and order the correct pum
before taking everything apart. Is this a pipe dream? <chuckle>
Thanks for any help in advance! Johnnie - Clarksville, T

According to germanautoparts.com there is only 1 pump (though
different packaging). Looks like a 30mm hub. I also have an 89 cab and
have ordered a bunch of parts from them (they are fast, the parts always
fit, and great). Parts always come the next day to MA.
