yeah, i agree, cavileir is not as high quality as "toyota"'s brand, parts r less and expensive. and it designed for north america i believe, the engine temp always keep in the middle even u stay da car outside for a long time, and some parts r marks "made in canada" :roll:

and 12hrs job~~~~omg..... $$$$$

why you would want a 2nd hand water pump is beyond my comprehension.

So you save $100 on the waterpump, then it will probably break down in 10,000kms and you'll have to buy another waterpump, and spend the same amount of time/money in labour to fix it.

u r right, and i told my mate's to buy new one, she worried about the $$$, she scared as quoted $1000 to replace in a garage, she wants to cut some cost on it, will find out the price both new and 2nd hand first, and then she should decide 2 go which one

The one in Avondale is "Endless Spares" 09 828 3175

Cavaliers aren't cheap whatever needs replacing! They are the biggest lemon on the road as I see it. The only part that I have come across them that isn't ridiculous is the head gasket of all things.

give me an email with the cars details and ill do a deal on a new pump.
but yeah... 2nd hand pump is actually stupid

u'd be a bad friend if u didnt suggest to fix it and sell it straight away for wotever u can get for it, we hav runs of them at work, cavalier after cavalier, i hate the peices of crap. i saw an early model RS chev cavalier today, strange shape.....
