Title: Water pump question Post by: Crazypierre on December 22, 2019, 03:18:45 PM Hi,
I have a 1979 131 1300 CL with the push rod engine. Please can you tell me if the water pump on this engine is the same as on the Supermirafiori 1600 engine? Where might be the best place to get one? Thanks Pete Title: Re: Water pump question Post by: Thotos on December 23, 2019, 06:39:45 PM It's a long time since I've had a 131 with the pushrod engine but I seem to remember that water pumps are slightly different with the ones for the twincams; something to do with the heater pipe I think. Then again I may be completely wrong! ::) I'm sure Yagmur can supply the correct water pump for your engine.

I'm thinking it's the pump bearings that have worn as I get a grinding noise, more noticeable from inside the car than outside.....

It could be the alternator bearing or, as in my case, a loose crankshaft front pulley!
