Under its "Yes We Have” initiative, Japanparts is set to introduce a new range of water pumps aimed at the European vehicle market, building on its strength in this sector for Asian and American vehicles.

Hand in hand with its range expansion, the Italian based group will also open a new 53,000 m2 logistics hub next year.

Water pumps work very hard circulating more than 1.7 million litres of coolant in an average 4 year or 100.000 Km lifespan. Since they are parts that move constantly when the engine is running, water pumps can often get damaged prematurely for many reasons. Generally, the water pump is replaced at the same time as the timing belt, or otherwise after 100.000 Km. However it needs to be replaced earlier if there is wear of the moving parts due to poor quality cooling liquid, mixtures with fuel or exhaust gas or oil, leakage in the seals. Noise from the bearing, due to premature failure or misalignment and damage to the O-rings or to the stuffing box are also signs of the need for replacement.

Covering 95% of vehicles on the road, the Japanparts Group offers a range of water pumps with more than 1.000 part numbers available for Asian, European and American vehicles. The parts all use top quality materials and are manufactured to OE specification. Japanparts water pumps also come with a 24-month guarantee.
