N52 Water Pump, looking for a used one

coo-pey · 01-31-2017, 12:42 PM

Hi all.

I'm going to post this in the ad section too, but I wanted max exposure for this request.

What am I doing? I had read in a few places that one of the culprits for the N52 water pump MAY be the electronics. I, and a few of my friends, have access to some electronic test equipment.

With that in mind, I want to find a used pump. Preferably non working so that I can attempt to fix it.

If it is broken / not working, I will pay the shipping.

email me at james.viars@comcast.net

If it was made by seimans the electronics get hot and the electronics bits start to come off the board. They replace them with vdo manufactured water pumps. It can be fixed but I would imagine it would happen again.

That would be cool to experiment with but super risky for a replacement. The check engine light won't come on for a failing pump so you would have to keep an eye open for shadow codes.

I have one for you. Just failed this week. PM me for address details for a shipping label. Thanks.
