[Vwdiesel] advice needed on parts source, 1.9 td, water pump

[lbaird119 at aol.com]

Wahler is generally the OEM stat.  There's another but I can't think of it right now.  A lot of heating/cooling VW stuff was Behr but I think that was mostly A/C.  Just don't use an "off the shelf" parts store stat.  They work but not correctly.


  Try and get a pump with the cast iron impeller.  They're getting hard to get but much more durable than the other varieties out there that can be found.

i'm not sure of the origins of the this motor, it was in a 91 jetta, a gas to
diesel conversionthat i drove for years. i set the car aside for about a year,
when i swapped the motor into a passatwagon i noticed the bearing noise that i
could not locate though i drove it knowing the oil pressure and engine temp
weregood. several months go by and the noise did show itself as a water pump:
wobbly pulley, leaking. 
i am wondering which to use, i have the time to order
something from autohauz or is there a local source (autozone etc) that may
provide a reliable pump. also, any suggestions on a thermostat brand/temp to
use. 
i will recheck the engine id to be sure
