Default I've used the Graf supplied by AutohausAZ. Can't say I've put high mileage on
any of the cars since, but it seemed like a quality part.

Get a serp belt and test your thermostat on the stove in water before installing.

Default New one, put it in a pan of cold water on the stove, turn on heat and...
wait until it opens as the water heats up. Takes 5 mins., good peace of mind.

Guys, I'm all screwed up and confused. Is the water pump driven off the timing belt? (2.8 12v)
