Hey guys, looking to get some feedback on the latest waterpump released for the CBFA engine: part# 06J-121-026-BG. I'm having one installed tomorrow, and trying to get an idea if it's a long term fix or if this will be a repeat failure. I realize installation has quite a bit to do with the failures, but I'm speaking more about the plastic/composite material being any different than the previous versions.
It seems ridiculous to me to manufacture a critical component like a waterpump out of composite, especially considering it's exposed to the direct heat of the cylinder block....so I was disappointed to see the newest version is not completely aluminum, but still composite. Anyone heard of or seen a BG pump failed?
