Looks like my 855 base water pump is leaking. I think it was branded GMB? Probably has about 40k miles on it.
Recommendations?

I just bought an Aisin WPV800 for the P2 from Rock Auto for $107 CDN shipped with border taxes. This is the same one as listed on FCP Euro website for $93 US. It is $85 CDN which is around $60 US. It cones with a gasket but just make sure your bolts are 25mm long. The standard for older pumps are 30mm. The Aisin pumps for some reason do not come with them. If yours are already 25mm, I have successfully used thread sealer. I think it may be Permetex.

Note though, Rock Auto for some reason do not list the Aisin pump for 850's or even 98 V/S/C 70's. They do under a 99.

The shorter bolts are Volvo # 985151 x 7 off

Neil.

Hi abscate,
Text didn't work I sent you a pm re the wp, not sure if you received it. Thanks for the generous offer. Rock Auto has them for $35 which is what I was going to offer for yours, so I now have one. After all, got weathered out, so now it's on the agenda for spring which is just around the corner—thinking positively.
Jim
