Great help, everyone. Tks.
In summary...
EU spec SVX has 3 "barb" water pump.
US spec has 2 barb water pump.
Neither is available from Subaru.
A few non-OEM suppliers claim proper fit, but not verified by anyone on this site.
For non-OEM, I have seen:
GMB:
https://gmb.net/product/160-2050/
Carquest:
https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/...ctedStore=7616
USMW:
https://www.usmotorworks.com/catalog/
So, bottom line...
(1) Can anyone on this forum verify the fit of any of these 3 water pumps...or any other available non-OEM water pump?
(2) And if this forum comes up blank for a verified WP replacement, then just keep my current WP...roll the dice...and look out for coolant leaks for the foreseeable future.
Much appreciated. And feel free to correct or add anything.
Cheers, B.
