Anyone here replaced their water pump on a F5B???

I've been convinced to refresh a few parts of my motor before I get it on the road ((( READ: I was bored and couldn't think of anything else to do on the car - so I pulled the engine out :P )))

Pump may possibly be the same as the F6A - but different to the F5A and F8B -- as it runs off the timing belt

anyone got some part numbers for a aus made item? :oops: :oops:

I cant get any confirmed part numbers.. nothing lists F5B
alledgedly some F6A parts fit..

so then I give the f6a part numbers to a store and they have no idea :(

I really hate my Suzuki right now :roll:

Sorry mate but the F5B is probably the least common Suzuki engine in the world, so finding parts in Australia would be nigh on impossible - as you've found out.

I think your only genuine option would be greenline.jp

Try http://www.cappuccinosport.com/

Pete (Almost a mini) has an alto rsr (?) and he mentioned that they were good at getting weird bits. But pricey apparently. :wink:

Cappuccinosport website seems to work fine. . .
Maybe try an email directly to: sales@cappuccinosport.com
Be prepared for high shipping costs but parts will get to you very quickly (Cappuccino Sport is in England/France but parts are shipped straight from Japan, so they are usually on your doorstep in 3-4 days).
Dany has been a great help getting bits for my Alto when I couldn't source them anywhere else. .

Pistons, rings and gaskets for a DOHC F5A. . .
But he has pretty much everything available - all of the stuff is genuine Suzuki so I guess he just deals directly with a Japanese Suzuki dealer. . .
