MEYLE has made important new additions to its range in the form of MEYLE-ORIGINAL water pump repair kits for VW, Audi, Renault, Peugeot and Citroën models.

The Hamburg-based manufacturer is  offering full-service kits containing all parts required for the timing belt change complemented by the corresponding water pump in MEYLE-ORIGINAL or MEYLE-HD quality. Water pumps included in the kits come with a 100,000-miles (160,934 kilometres) minimum performance guarantee.

MEYLE says its water pump kits are a great all-in-one solution ensuring a highly professional timing belt change. The kits contain the timing belt and a full set of mounting parts along with tensioners and idlers. Also included is the corresponding water pump, as it is best practice to have the water pump replaced along with remaining system components.

Most MEYLE repair kits come with a water pump featuring an SiC/SiC mechanical seals which offers a level of quality far exceeding the standards typically found in the aftermarket. Leading car makers also rely on this type of sealing which is fitted in MEYLE-ORIGINAL water pumps.

MEYLE also recommends that when replacing the water pump, the entire cooling system is flushed thoroughly prior to refilling the system with new coolant. The company has produced a tutorial video on the flushing process.

MEYLE and MEYLE HD parts are available from stockist nationwide and are distributed in Ireland by Strongline Autoparts Limited. For more information call 01-462-4631.
