changing my timing belt... a little "uh oh"

[HardTech]

old water pump on left, new water pump on right

notice the extra nozzle on the old water pump? This was connected to a vacuum hose that goes into the engine. Am I screwed?

You have a 325e, you got a 325i 88+ water pump

PS extra water hose goes to the reservoir

On later models hose is molded to have an outlet to the reservoir on the driver side.

That Le sux.

not nessisarily and e/i thing... its a late/early cooling thing. 87i's have the left style, but 88 e's have the right style.

You must have early cooling.

I did the same thing back in the day when I had an 87'

I just finished changing my timing belt and everything... luckily, Kragens had a water pump for my car in stock.
