Refurbished water pump from Mazda?
 

guys,
i am asking this becsuse i order one from a mazda dealer and i got a pump that was sandblasted everywhere even in the inside and even the gasket area and i was trying to understand why it was in such a bad shape. then i noticed that the packaze had the mazda logo and the word "refurbished" with big letters.
i do not want to install refurbished one and i am alredy searching for another one.

what is going on? do mazda sells refurbished parts or i am a victim of sellesman?

thanks!!

Mazda Canada does not use"refurbished"water pumps.It is new production,Part no
N3A1-15-100A.

yes ,that is the part number that it is printed on a s label with the mazda logo but that is only a sticker.the box have printed word on it saying *refurbished*
i do not knoe what is going on.the pump was ordered from a usa seller for 97.00$
do anyone know where to find a new pump?
thanks

Mazda usa supplies a rebuilt pump, been this way since 97ish

Upgraded:
http://www.mazmart.com/PartsList.aspx?id=27&n=NEW&m=5

265.00 USD for a waterpump alone?:eek:

Just to let you know, I recently ordered a whole waterpump assembly from Ray @ Malloy Mazda for about the same price shipped.
This included a new waterpump, waterpump housing,thermostat, thermostat housing, cap, and gasket to engine.:icon_tup:

-edit, only sensor included was Water Level Sensor

thanks guys,
i emailed rx7.com but i did not get an answer yet.
the upgraded is too much.

is there any other sourse besides the rx7.com?

i found some aftermarket pumps on ebay. do you guys trust them?


thanks

The MazMart unit is a CNC machined impeller designed to not cavitate at high engine RPM. This is a known issue with the stock water pump and appears during road course driving. So it's essentially a cooling system mod if you do track driving.

Just wait for RX7.com.. It's not really worth getting a part which if fails, can cost you an engine.
