Default Kragen is part of a big conglomerate of three auto parts chains full of crappy parts and help. But

they have a lifetime guarantee. I know because I used it on the three water pumps I put in my mom's car. You are lucky they haven't infected your state yet.

Think of your favorite chain of parts stores, Kragen will buy them soon and start selling crappy parts.

Default Neither, get a good water pump, you will be happier. I only buy rags and a few brand name chemicals

there. Do you really think if they were a good parts store they wouldn't be able to figure out which pump you need? Or let you take both and bring back the wrong one if you were in a jam? Try a good NAPA store or online German parts house.

Last time I went there on a Sunday afternoon with with/for a friend it took three trips to get a distributor cap.

Trip One : Wrong Cap
Trip Two : Right Cap, missing part inside
Trip Three : Right Cap, built correctly.

They suck donkey dick, run away from them.

Default Re: Kragen.....I see! Get only "German" wasser pumps! They last!

Only German water pumps last!

If you do anything, get a German pump. I know they cost a few dollars more, but they are well worth it in the long run! Especially considering
your timing belt runs accross the water pump!

There are several parts places who have them at a reasonable cost.

Where you located?
