Apologies I messed up the title... should read OM648 Waterpump!
Suspected leak from water pump (pool of coolant on base underneath the respected pulley, and a smell of coolant) an OEM replacement is priced at £130 ish or 'Premium' from GSF at £50.
Which one should I go for? Is OEM worth the extra?
There has been some loss of coolant, all be it a very small amount. It triggered the warning but even after a good number of miles the expansion tank still had a good amount of coolant in it... (it has now been topped up with antifreeze) I assume I shouldn't drive it anymore though? I am 99% sure its the water pump.......
