pump was 4 years old, (changed when bought the car, together with belt)
however, the pump that was on, had litteraly a half blade on it. so al that plastic, (and more) still was in my engine.. i suppose if a blade got back in the pump, it would have destroyed the rest of the blades?
This time, (4 years, 20K km later) the (genuine vag) pump, had about 2/3 of it blades destroyed, combined with a broken fan sensor, i was overheating (rather fast) when standing still..
(wich caused my gasket leaking i suppose
)
I think i m going for metal this time
hopefully no more trouble...
