2600 Water Pump

hdavis · #1 (**permalink**) 08-16-2007, 07:41 AM

The water pump on my 63 spider is starting to make funny noises, it's not leaking water yet but I'm afraid it could start any time.

I have tried to get replacement parts from OK in Germany and from RE Originals, with no results.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, I guess the shaft and the impeller could be manufactured or machined, but I have no idea what to do about the seal and the bearing.

Thanks

Finding a waterpump or even an impeller is rather problematic.

I heard the German 2000/2600 club figured out how to modify something like a BMW 528 waterpump to fit the 2600 but I have no information about what exactly they used or did.

Heinbrand (http://heinbrand.com/) appear to list the seal and bearing for the 2600 water pump. I have no idea if they have them in stock, but I have had good luck with them in the past with parts for my 102.

HI, OK PARTS LISTS THE BERING AND SEAL AS PART NUMBER AR 10 029 212 HOWEVER ITS PRETTRY PRICEY AT 236 EUROS. LAST YEAR I SECURED A COUPLE OF KITS . i WILL PART WITH ONE FOR THE SAME PRICE I PAID FOR IT TH SEAL I BELEIVE IS THE SAME AS A 105 SERIES SEAL BUT THE SHAFT BEARING IS UNIQUE TO THE 2600 THERE IS OLS A FELLOW THAT ADVERISES EVERY MONTH IN HEMMINGS IN THE ALFA ROMEO PARTS CATAGORY SCTION THAT REBUILDS THEM

You have to send them your old waterpump, as soon as they receive it they send a rebuilt waterpump
I had mine done a few years ago with good result

Thanks, even though that would leave you with no car for a couple of months I guess, it would be worth it once the pump is fully gone.

I had one machined to use a standard size bearing and seal years ago, and it worked fine.

Hi Guys, Here Are The Shots Of The Two Kits I Have .they Are Slightly Different But The Overall Lenght Of The Shaft Is The Same And The Impeller Is The Same Size If You Have A Shop Manual It Gives Instructions And The Clearances Of The Impeller To The Water Pump Body. The Old Impeller Can Be Reused But You Need To Be Very Careful In Removing It.

Mike, I sent you a PM regarding your offer to part with one of your kits, but haven't heard back from. I'm quite interested in one of them. Email me if it's easier for you.
Thanks

I am new to this forum, so am not sure if this is the correct place to post this information, but the water pump seal for our cars is the same as John Deere part number R32622. I bought one about three years ago for about US$6.00.
