N54 Water Pump rubber mounting piece

MbahSurip · 11-24-2014, 05:28 PM

I was replacing my thermostat yesterday and I had to also take the water pump out in order to reach the thermostat. In the process, I lost one of the rubber mounting pieces that holds the water pump to the oil tank. There are 3 of these total on the water pump: 2 on bottom (that connects to oil-tank) and 1 on the top. I lost only one. Anyone knows if it's possible to buy just this rubber piece without having to buy a whole new water pump?? I don't want to replace the water pump because it's running fine (now at 45k miles).

I attached the picture of it.

Thanks!

As far as i can tell from the realoem website it seems that part is considered an integrated part of the water pump and can not be had by itself. Or at least doesn't have a part number. Sorry. Maybe you can find an old scrap one on ebay and salvage the part from that. Best of luck!

New Water pumps, don't even have the rubber bushings anymore. Just get a few washers and make a bushing.

Replace the pump while you are at it.
Else you may get stranded like many others.
The new bolts will be 26mm in length.

Also, let's say you still want to use the old rubber grommet pump....those bolts are one time use only. The new ones are not aluminum bolts and can be used over again.

I recommend askingvin the forum for anyone that still has the old pump to ship you a rubber gromet.
Just an idea.
