Water Pump questions

Guys, sira daw water pump ng L300 namin. Dinala sa 2 mechanic for estimate yung isa 4k all in with labor, yun isa P3300 all in din. Question ko lang is, maselan ba tong part na to? kelangan ba original dapat? or kung pwede replacement anong brand maganda? And anong price range yung hindi naman tayo maloloko ng mekaniko? Yun lang po thanks in advance.

Original ba yung 4k na price nila? kasi ako palit ako water pump ng Nissan Urvan Microbus (1990 Model) ko P7,000 original, P3,500 ang replacement. Half ang difference ng price. Pero original kinuha ko kaya hanggang ngayon di pa nasisira water pump ko. August 2000 nung nagpalit ako. Heavy used ang urvan ko dahil ginagamit ko sia for delivery ng product ko sa province (feeds for hogs and poultry).

Federal ata yung tatak ng water pump na replacement na binibigay sa akin before. Check mo na lang kung may pang Mitsubishi L300 na ganun.

Oh my.... napaka-mahal. Di ko pa kasi na experience gumamit ng replacement. Pero kung tatagal ng 2 years yung replacement good buy na din yun at that price. Try to canvass sa ibang Mitsubishi specialist. Tawagan mo eto 7445370 hanapin mo Badong. Sabihin mo ni refer kita. I'm Jay Castillo. Huwag ka muna mag banggit ng price mula sa el dorado pag nakausap mo si Badong.

GMB is a good replacement brand.

There's nothing sophisticated naman sa water pump, its primarily mechanical. Buti sana kung may electronics involved which would justify the price. Yung sa Sentra ko, more than 1 year na, tahimik pa rin. Usually naman, bearings at tagas ang dahilan kung bakit pumapalya ang water pump

Actually yung sakin may tagas. tsaka 96 model na yun sulit na sulit na.

Hi Oliver, san yung address mo ng mga condo units sa samplaoc para mapasyalan ko. Naghahanap kasi ako matutuluyan na bago. Sa sampaloc kako nakatira sa may laong laan. Thanks.

GMB is a good brand. That's what we always use when there is an available model for the application.

Just make sure marunong ang gagawa para leak free and pantay ang pulley.

Then use the correct coolant mixture para lubricated parati ang water pump and hindi magkaron ng deposits. Kasi kahit orig iyan, kung tap water lang, malaki ang chance na mag-corrode and mag-sieze din yung turbine.

para ma chek nyo yung nagana water pump nyo ganito yung mga procedures na gingawa namin:
1) paandarin yung makina then open yung radiator cap
2) rev the engine using acclerator cable o kung diesel yung makina sa may injection pump
3) observe nyo yung tubig sa loob ng radiator kung nag "rorotate" sa loob ng radiator...mapapansin nyo pag nag rev yung engine papasok yung tubig sa pump...kung ganito ang obserbasyon nyo nagana yung water pump nyo..
4) check for leaks sa radiator hoses nyo o kung luma na palitan nyo na, kasi minsan sa labas ok pa ang hitsura kaso sa loob panay bitak na pala at collapse na yung interior. o kung malambot na yung mga hose palitan nyo na din..sasakalin nya yung circulation ng tubig from radiator going to engine.
...kung yung replacement water pump ang gagamitin nyo...its definetely cheaper but it won't last that long...kaso iba pa din ang reliability ng orig na brand..kung pang negosyo yung L300 mo dapat alagaan mo din sya para di ka pabayaan so go for the orig....but 10k na water pump is too much

..wag ka din mag tiwala sa surplus na piyesa..di mo alam kung hangang kailan ang itatagal nito..my 2 cents :p
