MK 2 water pump question

[Gearhead]

Howdy folks. Quick question: do the Mk II's (87) also have the plastic water pump impeller from the factory?

I'll take a wild a$$ stab at this one and say yes. The plastic impellers died because of old age or high miles, and since the '87's were only four years into the 10 year model run failures didn't start happening yet... On the other hand if it hasn't been replaced by now it's probably going to need one if not already replaced by a PO.... And I own 4 or 5 mkII's and although most are 2nd hand non-op'd I've never run into the issue....

No. From late 1985 the impellers are metal.

Thanks Kev. Should have referred to you in the first place...
