Water pump lifespan question.
Fellows, please advise!
I'm ready for the cooling system flush and overhaul. Nothing is leaking yet, nothing overheats. Hoses are in mediocre condition, have few damages, coolant is sort of ok, was changed before by the previous owner, correct coolant (not the geen one [img]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img] ) Fan clutch works fine. Thermostat works ok, but is probably due for replacement (22y old).
So, what is typical pump lifespan? Hight quality aftermarket (Graf) is $71 not expensive, clutch is $120 (german made), i already replaced junction tee and have all other hoses and thermostat ready. Should i do preventive for pump and the clutch? Or leave them alone for another 20k?
Car has 51k and 22y old.
