How reliable are the aux water pumps on the 300TD?
I am plannoing to rework a Citroen TA 15-6 which suffers, like all of them do, from lack of coolant movement to the rear two cylinders, causing distortion and other problems over long periods.
I am thinking about sticking an aux water pump for a 300TD in the system to address this. 1. Has anyone used this aux coolant pump for any other projects? 2. How reliable are they in general? How available? Is a new one a good value? Is a PNP unit worth the effort? 3. Anybody got one they want to sell? Thanks

Just curious - how will adding an auxiliary pump aid flow to the remote cylinders? Seems to me you'd have to tap into a casting hole or freeze plug at the rear of the engine with something more capable than an aux pump like a dragster electric water pump. Do you have 12V in the Citroen?
