Water pumps play a critical role in the maintenance of modern engine systems, so when it comes to replacement German parts specialist MEYLE say that garages should take care with their choice. The company now offers a range of MEYLE-HD water pumps and water pump kits that feature high quality, well designed, components that are perfectly matched to individual operating conditions.

MEYLE-HB water pumps are designed for longer service life, making then especially suitable for higher mileage vehicles. Depending on the application the pump is either fitted with 4 point ball roller bearings which means better distribution of high radial forces and increased axial support.

Alternatively the pump may be fitted with angular contact ball bearings which absorb axial and medium radial forces as well as increase axial support.

A defective water pump can quickly cause serious engine damage but this can be avoided with MEYLE-HD water pumps. These pumps also feature an extremely hard-wearing mechanical seal with SiC/SiC sliding face material pairing. The seal, which is used on MEYLE water pumps, offers excellent resistance to abrasive substances, something that makes this type of pump technology the choice for leading vehicle manufacturers. An extremely heat-resistant housing seal and the water pump bearing in original-equipment quality also add extra durability to the MEYLE-HD water pump design.
