Water pump impeller

[cladoo]

I am asuming that the water pump impeller on a 2019 300XC is plastic. I'm just wondering if I should order an aluminum one as last year my 2010 Nambotin melted its impeller.

I can't say whether you need to but aluminum will always outlast plastic.

Have alu unit from checkpoint offroad. Had it in 08, transfered to 18.

It seems to grind a bit top to cover and those sharp edges received some dings, so had to do a bit of filing before reusing.

Order some spare waterpump cover gaskets. You might need two or three to get enough clearance on the impeller. Remember that the gaskets will crush and recheck your clearance. I needed to add about 1mm to clear mine.
