[Es2] ABY compared to AAN

Thanks Tom, I will have to look into this as I didn't know the timing belt
was different.  I knew the ADU pump is smaller so it spins faster and pumps
more water, think the belt is slightly longer too. I'm curious if they did
the same to the AAN...

Mark.

Hey Mark,

At a glance at the two water pumps appear the same.  I think the differences
are with the diameter of the pulley due to the differences in the timing
belts between the AAN and ABY.  I've never actually checked it.

The ADU motor uses its own unique water pump.  Again, I assume this is due
to the ADU having a unique timing belt, camshaft sprocket, and timing belt.
These parts are different between the ADU and ABY.

Tom
