Gates extends electric water pump range

Gates has extended its range of OE quality E-Cool electric water pumps with the addition of 16 new part numbers.

Gates has ensured that its E-Cool units always meet or exceed the quality of build and performance specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

There are now 36 part numbers to choose from.

Each part number is a complete solution.

It means that wherever brackets are required to fit the water pumps to specific applications, they are included.

As re-used old brackets frequently fail and create unnecessary comebacks for garages, the new brackets represent additional cost saving and time saving benefits provided by Gates.

Among the vehicles covered by this extension are popular models from Audi (A4,A5 & A6), BMW (Series 1-5 and X1-X5) Land Rover (Discovery and Range Rover), Mercedes-Benz (CLK Series C,E&SL and CLS E Series) Porsche (Cayenne), Seat (Altea) and VW (Golf and Scirocco), to name just a few.

One in four cars on European roads are already equipped with turbochargers cooled by electric water pumps, but vehicle manufacturers are increasingly seeing the technology as the best way to cool a range of components.

This is because sensors deliver the coolant only if and when it is required.

As well as improving efficiency, it reduces the overall load on the engine.

On-board applications for electric water pumps currently include turbocharger system cooling, cabin heating regulation and battery cooling on hybrid and electric cars.

Many cars produced over the last five years are fitted with electric water pumps, some may have up to three.

Electric water pumps in some of these early cars are now in need of replacement.

For example, there is strong demand for replacement units fitted to BMW 2.5L and 3.0L engines in the 3,5 and 7 Series.

The latest E-Cool part numbers cover these applications.

At a time when fresh revenue streams are vital, Gates has delivered a range extension that adds more easy-to-fit cooling solutions for a wide number of applications.

It is a move that increases the number of profit opportunities available and sharpens the competitive edge for Gates distributors as well as their garage customers.
