Re: Water Pump Opinions...

Rob,
I have used both and would recommend staying with the German pump.  The
Italian pumps I have gotten used an aluminum gear which would actually get
grooves worn into them from the timing belt causing noise and wear.  A friend
of mine had one get so bad it slipped. 

The German pumps I have used always came with steel pulleys, which are the
way to go.  You could also swap gears with your original pump if you have
access to a press.  BTDT.

HTH!
