Re: Gates water pump no longer metal impeller
Hey all, I I’ve cut and pasted the letter that the CEO of the company sent to me...
The part number of the original pump, if it’s 997 at the beginning, evidently that’s for a different car or engine? All I know is, the Gates 997 pump definitely didn’t fit my car but the Geba 996 did?
So, not sure what that means, or which car the 997 pump is for, but it would bolt on but, not spin without hitting. Looks like his 15008 part number is for a 2005-2008 911? So, essentially, I was sent the wrong pump, originally. Or, I had a 996 that someone accidentally put a 997 impeller on at the factory? The Geba 15007 is the correct part number for 1997-2004 cars. Btw, the tech drawings are really cool. Wish I could attach them.
The letter:
thanks for your Mail.
You are right, the diameter of the Impeller (water side) is different between 996 + 997!
Enclosed you will find our Drawing of the Impeller for our Pump 15007 and 15008 for checking.
We use a metal Impeller which we prefer.
For the other Components such as Bearing or mechanical Seals we use the same Configuration as the OE´s.
So you can follow the Instructions of OE´s for maintenance.
If you change the Pump it will be really important to flush the System and use a very high Quality of Coolant.
As long as I am doing the Water pump Business (29 Years) you have the Discussions plastic vs. metal!
For both Materials you have some advantages and also some disadvantages, but in general we have better experiences with the metal one.
Most of our US Customers don´t want to have plastic.
Enjoy the rides with your Boxter.
