i want to get rid of it and go with a metal one. i thought i remeber seeing a while back how to use a 3rd gen neck on a s5 water pump. i couldnt find it in my searches. its not leaking yet i just have a couple other leaks and would like to replace the ticking time bomb of a neck.

 

wont a S4 fit it?

 

So buy a new plastic one. The one you have has lasted 15 years and still hasn't cracked. There's no reason to expect a new one won't do the same.

 

i guess i dont like seeing the plastic.

 

go to a wrecking yard and pull one off a car, if they have any 7's, there. shouldn't be more than a couple of bucks.

 

i like his thinking!

 

I actually like how the plastic looks and it's easier to keep looking nice than metal.

 

...ahhh here's this thread...

...stumbled across the metal neck; just under $100 aussie...

his isn't leaking, by replacing it with one from a wrecking yard he would likely install a problem, this is not one of those pieces that is good to pull off a used motor.

 

word. even the one on my new reman developed a crack after less than half a year.

 

thanks ive seen this before and couldnt find it.
