They want $175 just for the part--and I won't pay that much--so, I guess I say no more than $100. _________________ The BMW 2002 US VIN 1661250 was manufactured on May 17th, 1968 and delivered on May 24th, 1968 to the BMW importer Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City.

Do it yourself is a fairly easy job. I did mine about a month ago. They are charging for about 3 hours of labor. Also Bav auto has the pump with gasket for 45.00 dolla _________________ back to the 02s http://my1972bmw.blogspot.com/ 1600 1561547 project http://1600bmw.blogspot.com/ vintage_bmw@yahoogroups.com Last edited by 73_02 on 4-26-07 01:34; edited 1 time in total

Two hose clamps and four bolts, and the radiator is out (drain it first, of course)

Unbolt the fan & its pulley from the water pump (4 bolts), pop the fan belt loose.

Six or so bolts around the water pump and it's loose from the engine.

Clean the mating surfaces, goo up a new gasket and fit it to the pump.

Reinstall everything.

You're done. $$$ saved, lotsa satisfaction!

You should be able to find a good german aftermarket pump like Graff or Geba or Laso brands for less than $65. Shop around! bavauto.com shows $44.95 for what by the picture appears to be a Graff pump.
