plastic!!!???

Post by jd daewoo »

I ordered a new waterpump for my daewoo lanos (1999 1.6L). It was a duralast awp9260. When it came in it had a plastic.impeller with vains at a quarter of the length. Anyone else have this type pump installed? Possible factory mistake?

Remanufactured pump?
I would not place this pump in my engine.

the only reason I can think of why they have quarter length vains is to reduce cavitation
