Re: [DML] Crossover pumps

[E Grauff <datamonk@xxxx>]

If memory serves me correct - there are some issues regarding the pulley 
and the water pump.

And for the fuel pump - there are some issues regarding a check valve 
(forget if it's supposed to be there or not.) Maybe other issues also.

IMO - buy one from the vendors. Fuel pumps often can't be returned or 
exchanged since they are electrical items. And the water pump is pretty 
critical to the life of your engine - hate to make a mistake there.

Might be more money, but it sure beats problems down the road. Plus I'm 
sure you'll get the load of replies about the value of keeping the vendors 
around. They are worth their weight in gold when you have questions. 
Many will give good phone support . . .

Does anyone have experience with crossover pumps vs. the same parts from a vendor? (I remember someone talking about a VW fuel pump that works awhile go but I don't remember any specifics being given.) Do they all fit and work the same, or is there a major difference in quality?
