In recent years, a number of factors such as emissions regulations and new engine technology has evolved the look, weight and performance of the water pump, resulting in lighter and more compact designs. Despite all these changes, they are still expected to offer enhanced engine protection from overheating.
Product range is certified by the Valeo Origin Label. Valeo is regarded as a thermal systems specialist and the company’s water pumps range is made to OE specifications, comprising components that adhere to the same standard. For example, Valeo water pumps feature numerous components including a pulley that prevents noise and excessive wearing of the timing belt, a vapour hole to evacuate excess pressure and, high quality bearings to reduce noise and allow for better resistance to extreme operating conditions.
