45 years in the Import parts and service industry as a factory rep for : Robert Bosch technical service, Federal Mogul, Nippon Denso, parts mgr. of a Bmw/Rolls dealership AND a factory certified VOLVO parts man form the basis of my opinions. anyone that is willing to go 180 + miles on a water pump WILL reap what they sow....

For $167.60, you can get a new Aisin waterpump, timing belt, tensioner, and idler.

I bought those for my 142k engine.

One of the reasons these cars last so long is the quality, and ergo cost, of OEM parts

My OEM BMW water pump was half the cost and much cheaper made than my Volvo with 185k on it now.
