Both of the water pump housings listed are for the cars and will not work on the Montero. It lists them as they fit, but they will not. I have all ready been down that road. Try explaining to an auto parts place that their system is wrong. I had to show them mine to make them believe me and I think they still thought I was crazy.


That happens all the time. Manufacturers screw up on their info frequently. Get a Gates P/N 43551 new water pump. I know it has the correct housing on the back. It's on my truck...

I'd still get an OE oring, though.

Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...
