recommend me water pump and belts from ebay for Z4MC :)

as the title says, i am looking to replace the waterpump and belts at my service and would already like to have the parts for the guys to install.

ebay or some other place that offers cheap shipping to dubai would be great.

also can someone recomend some good engine mounts?

cheers

Hmm, kinda confused a bit... Part number for the water pump is 11517831908

Most of the sites show the pump and the impeller and housing, but some others show it as just the impeller part?

Can the housing be re-used and just replace the impeller part?

Cheers

I'd go with Vibra-technics motor mounts. They cost more, but are worth it. Plus once you buy the housings, the inserts are less expensive than OEM motor mounts. They are around $325 a pair. Here's a thread: http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=783544

How many miles do you have? I wouldn't think you would need a new water pump until at least 60k or so. Maybe even longer.

From the mileage thread: Vanne, "2007 Mcoupe, 130K miles... great car, super tight."

Yeah, with that many miles, I'd say time for a new water pump.

At what mileage would you say is necessary to replace the water pump, radiator, spark plugs and belts - so the car won't leave you stranded some where. I was aiming at 60k miles when I do my Inspection # 2.

Any thoughts, advice(s)???


Thanks.

just a heads up, the M waterpump is indeed a different beast to the rest of the waterpumps for the zeds. its the same as the model shared by the Z3M. One unit, cannot just replace the impeller section, and its exy, upward of 300US just for the part...

Good info... $300 is not bad since I heard the dealer would ask from 800 to 1300.
The dealer ship wanted $1300 to do my inspection 1 but I did it myself for about $600.

Does anyone know what needs to be replaced and when to keep the ///Z running with no mechanical issues past 50k, 70k and over 90k miles ??
