[Vwdiesel] Waterpumps Who has Cast?

[James Hansen]

That hasn't been the experience of most folks.
Some of Jack's more satisfied customers may care to chime in on that.

I know of one list member other than Andrew either here or on Audi-Vw 
that lost the stamped steel impeller also due to part failure.  Again, 
not a statistically significant number, but it happened.

I have had enough of the things go through my shop over the years, NEVER 
has a cast impeller ever failed for me or in any friend's cars.  I have 
four or five cast impeller cooled motors in the fleet at any given time 
over many miles.
