I just bought 6 coil packs from them for 280 shipped in 2 days, was on par with american sites but cheaper with postage and current exchange rate.
They told me the waterpumps will be in stock soon, but they have the thermostat and bolts ready to go.

I find FCP Euro has reasonable postage prices.

JD75 might also have this stuff on hand.

Socket I am about to place an order from FCP euro if you want to split the shipping.

My water pump just died a few weeks ago and was looking to get one from OS but found the best price locally via imparts. Was cheaper than ECS and in $AUD and no shipping. Unfortunately no stock until 3rd week of September so I bought from HSY also local to Aus. Was still cheaper than ECS + shipping.

I also found there was a massive price difference depending if VDO or Continental. Even though one owns the other.

Definitely going to check out the above links though!

Can get them for just over $400 delivered OEM

Can't say much about the electrical pump cause my diesel drives it old fashioned by the serpentine belt.
But in such cases I always look for an imprint (name or number) on the item that reveals the original manufacturer. Then I use ebay and google to find the best price.

Edit: Do yourself a big favor and do not buy aftermarket replacements. They will fail in short time.

Do you know generally if non-dealer mechanics will install parts that we supply?

Or do they grumble about liability, etc?

cheers

I've never had an independent mech complain about me bringing my own parts (upgraded or stock) for them to install - they're always happy to provide the service. In a sense it makes life easier for them as they don't need to worry about ordering stuff in.

As someone once said an Indy will weld a turd to your exhaust pipe if you pay them and don't expect a warranty

Good price considering I paid $1150 at the stealership to get the my water pump and thermostat done
