No, and viscous couplings are for the fan, not the water pump which is always directly driven.

Looks right, but I'm not hugely au fait with the earlier engines, so possibly I could be wrong on that particular part.

Looks like RTC6337 is the earlier part?

I can't see anything else that fits, so I'd go for it.

Click to expand...

Can I suggest you don't buy a Britpart one.

Due to the way things worked out, I fitted two BP pumps to the same vehicle within about 5000 miles. It just happened they were available when I needed one and I fitted them to get me going again.

I'm now on a genuine part and the difference in quality is vast.

I got ours from ebay, unbranded, but has just passed 58k miles with no issues.

It's a bit of a lottery, but the price difference is huge.
