Water Pump

[845ste]

hi folks,
yesterday I started my beloved orange murcy 6.2.
accelerating from standstill constantly at 4000rpm I saw that it is leaking water below, probably from the water pump!
unfortunately I hardly ever use it, even if I turn it on often (every month) and in fact it has only 21.000km of the year 2002. ;(

Please, someone can recommend me a new pump at a good price (not from robbery......) ,?

thanks in advice.

My first port of call would be Eurospares or eBay

Hi 845ste ,

Are you sure that it is a water pump leak ?

1) There is an air-con drainage pipe towards the front , just left of the midline .
It might be something as simple as that .

2) If its liquid dripping from the rear , it might be water from the exhaust dripping through a gap in the system . For every1kg of fuel combusted , 1Kg of water is produced .

Either way best of luck , and Ferruccio's suggestions above , would also be my first ports of call .

thank all for answer.
unfortunately the water is red and therefore cooling.
I think it's from the pump.
I hope it can be repaired (o-ring?).
I read somewhere that there is a revision kit for rubber rings and gaskets., ecc.
I will try to do this first.

sure that 3400e for a pump is a theft!
I have other supercars but the lambo oem parts are a robbery!
ciao

Please keep us informed - we can all learn from this , especially if there is a repair kit available or if there is a cheaper source of OEM water pumps .

Might also be worth putting your question on the LamboTalk forum -- there is a wealth of experience and knowledge on that site

very gladly.
but what do they say in lambo talk about the pump?
