hello commodorians
had the normal crack in rad and replaced it....also replaced the hoses and managed to crack the heater valve.... so replacved it.... as you would i performed a rad flush but didnt think it did a great job.... but i did this while i was waiting for my new rad to come so i decided to do another one after i fitted the new radiator and hoses (may be not a good idea) any way after filling new coolant a leak formed behind the pump. i decided to put the pellets in and dirty up my beautiful clean coolant.... but this did not stop the leak.
going to fit a new water pump.... called holden but i think they are a rip... paid $15 just for those pellets. i have a 2000 olympic edition vs v6 3.8 ser lll auto ute have found an Airtex for $44 (WP4000AX) has a three yr warranty and i can pick it up, the only other one is a gen GMB $34 + shipping only has a two yr warranty and has these # WP4000AGMB, 71023694, ZPN-01012
i read on here there was a small dif after a certain year, some thing about a shim....?
who knows what i need.... part number....? shim or no shim....?
