rayinkrabi Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Sorry but I uploaded this before I had finished...My 2001 VW Passat 2.3 v5 is having extensive work done and the mechanic (who speaks v little to 'No' English) can not explain what this is. He can source the parts for me but at around 5 or 10 times what I see them for on Ebay...hard work though as I am not a Mechanic :-) Thanks in advance for any help yo can give. Cheers, Ray.

rayinkrabi Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Yep, I believe that is the Water Pump on the top but it's the Bearing below that has me stumped , it's attached to a shaft about 5 inches long so maybe it is what Don Mega suggests?...I'll have another search...thanks (Oh, and I think thats just the VW 'Part Number') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bearing won't be a problem IMO your task is to source the housing part yourself if the mechanic is talking large amounts, can you not get to speak to a mechanic who speaks English or get someone to translate for you.

jay1980 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) this UK company I used for a second hand part once when I had an Audi TT in the UK, they claim: ' We can transport anything from a bolt to body shell anywhere in the world.' http://vee-dubs.co.uk/parts-request/ might be worth giving them a try Edited September 12, 2016 by jay1980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayinkrabi Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Thanks all for your input...yea it seems my 'translator' is actually complicating stuff (as usual) but the mechanic does seem to be v capable and knowledgeable so I want to stick with him (apart from the fact my motor is immovable at the mo)..:-)... Thanks to Jay I will certainly also give vee-dubs a try as I'm lucky to have another mate in England who will bring this stuff to me in November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to be an ally casing. If an attempt is made to press the existing bearing out, there's a high chance it will break. Also the pump impellor will be pressed on to the shaft. I think it really is a case of replacing the whole thing. Thermostat and timing belts (+tensioner & idler) should be replaced at the same time.

tifino Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 it could possibly from the front of a Mitsubishi motor, like an Astron or a Sirius 1850/1995/2600cc, vintage 1974 through to 1986. I say this as the bottom bearing end seems similar to that for the 'Silent Shaft', also known as 'Smooth Shaft" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you say, it's just l would certainly try removing both parts from the casing first before ordering. The casing is probable the most expensive item so a drop penetrating oil and a gentle warm up may do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs2 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Just find a shop with a descent press and it will come out easy, Lotus Twin cams had the same setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
