MEYLE sets new standards in water pump seals
Share:

Wulf Gaertner Autoparts  has highlighted the benefits of its latest generation water pumps featuring silicon carbide mechanical seals. The company says these MEYLE and MEYLE-HD water pumps outperform conventional designs in terms of quality and come with a 100,000-miles (160,934 kilometres) minimum performance guarantee.  


A defective water pump can quickly cause major engine damage. In many cases, the root cause is a leaking mechanical seal, which is why material quality is a critical factor. Using SiC/SiC mechanical seals, MEYLE and MEYLE-HD water pumps far exceed the quality standards typically available on the independent aftermarket. Leading car makers rely on this type of sealing now fitted in the majority of available MEYLE water pump designs. The extremely narrow sealing gap combined with a high-grade silicon carbide material, helps protect the water pump against wear and contamination. Even the smallest of particles are ground down instantly. No run-in period is required as the water pump is perfectly water-tight immediately after installation.

Compared to conventional hard carbon material typically used in aftermarket applications, silicon carbide sliding face material pairings offer excellent thermal conductivity thereby preventing the risk of crack formation due to thermal stress. This means a prolonged water pump life.

You can learn more about MEYLE and MEYLE-HD water pumps on the MEYLE TV YouTube channel or by visiting www.meyle.com/en/wapu.html.

MEYLE and MELYE HD products are available from motor factors nationwide and are distributed in Ireland by Strongline Autoparts. Call (01)-462-4631 for more information.
