I just wondered if many Fiat Ldv waterpumps are still available in South Africa.
Hercules' mod sounds like a very practical and economical solution, but I haven't seen any Fiat Ldv's in the Durban area during the past few years - so I have a feeling that the Fiat waterpumps might become scarce as well.
Does anyone knows whether the Fiat Ldv waterpumps has been used on the Fiat cars (similar front shape) as well - and how what is the current price of a Fiat Ldv waterpump?
I just thought it might help to have this information on this website......
Regards
Danie

Danie , The Fiat 128 Waterpump part no W17203A are not that freely available. I did contact all my motor spare parts dealers I deal with, And could only manage to get one pump at Litts motor Spares in Kempton Park. The price of the pump is R201.05. I am busy with a spare part wholesaler in Benoni, who list the origanal pump for Lada, to get the availlability and price of both the pumps, but no feedback yet. Will keep you up to date as soon as I get confirmation from them.
Regards.
Hercules.

Thanks for the feedback Hercules, and thanks for trying to get another importer involved.
An additional importer could cause healthy competition between all importers, and better deals for all owners.

Hercules, when I visited local Midas shop today, I asked them about the availability of Fiat LDV water pumps. They mentioned two different water pumps and part numbers for the Fiat 128 (1600) LDV's - NWP 1500 and NWP 1540.
Midas confirmed that these water pumps are not available from their suppliers any longer.
Which supplier did you contact for these water pumps?
Regards
Danie.

Danie,
I did contact Litts Motor Spares in Kempton Park which had only one in stock. They could not confirm that they will be able to get any more waterpumps. The Motor Spare Parts Wholesaler I am busy with, is Argus Motor Spares in Rietpan in Benoni. They list the original pump on their system. I will contact them on Sunday morning to confirm price and availlability, as they are not open on Saturdays. I did bought my waterpump at Litts Motor Spares at the time I did the mod on my Lada.
Regards.
Hercules.

Thanks for the info Hercules - there is no need for a speedy reply about this issue though.
I was just trying to get more information about availability when I visited Midas to buy something else.
Anyway - I thought it might be a good idea to reveal names of possible suppliers on this forum.
Thanks a lot for your help in this regard.
Regards
Danie
