CRP Automotive launches all-aluminium water pump assembly kit replacing OE’s plastic version

The Rein Automotive Water Pump Assembly Kit (CRP P/N WPU0505) by CRP automotive is all-aluminium water pump housing, replacing OE's plastic version. CRP Automotive, a leading supplier of OE-quality replacement and repair parts, has created a first-to-market water pump assembly kit for some of the most popular BMW applications from 2007 to 2010.

"One of the most common complaints of OE water pump assembly for these BMW 6-cylinder, 3.0L engines is that the plastic housings had a tendency to crack at around 50-60,000 miles, due to high vibration and heat," said Christian Eichstaedt, CRP Automotive's Director of Product Innovation.

The Rein Water Pump Assembly Kit contains all the necessary hoses, clamps, bolts, and hardware to execute a successful service. The package also contains aluminium mounting screws and other application-specific components, allowing specialists to complete the installation quickly and easily.

Rein Water Pump Assembly Kits are available for popular BMW models such as the 2008-10 135I, the 2007-10 335I, the 2009-10 335I XDRIVE, and 2007-08 335XI. The kit's application coverage surpasses 100,000 VIO throughout the United States and Canada.

"The resulting crack would lead to a loss of coolant that would eventually short the electrical portion of the pump. CRP developed this Rein Water Pump kit with an all-aluminum pump housing to combat this issue, while also replacing the plastic flange and plug with aluminum components to further reinforce the repair. Technicians who choose this kit can be assured that their repair will hold," added Christian Eichstaedt.
