THIS IS REALLY GONNA MAKE YOU. UNHAPPY (YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST)

"PLASTIC"----WONDERFUL STUFF IF USED IN THE PROPER PLACES
METAL HAS BEEN A PROVEN MATERIAL IN YEARS GONE BY FOR THIS PART

THE IMPELLER IS SORTA THE "PROPELLER-LIKE" THINGEE THAT PUSHES THE COOLANT THRU THE ENGINE
THIS MAY NOT BE YOUR ISSUE---IT IS VERY COMMON NOW-A-DAYS
I TOOK THESE PICS OF 2 DIFFERENT VW PUMPS, FROM 2 DIFFERENT SHOPS, LESS THAN A WEEK APART (I FIGURED THIS WAS ENOUGH PICS) I STILL SEE THIS OFTEN
SPLITTING OR JUST FALLING APART
METAL ONES FAIL TOO.I RARELY SEE THEM DO IT LIKE THE PLASTIC ONES
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND
