In need of a Thermostat to water pump gasket, tried brickwerks but they ain't got them on the web shop, any suggestions?

The age old question ..... ENGINE and year ?

Oh yes, it's been a long day, 84 1.9dg

There are usually gaskets in the box with the water pump...........my early pump from brickwerks did

Part number for gasket is 025121043A but I think it's NLA

Did you source a gasket supplier??

Doing a google search for the part number suggests that the Yanks are getting them from a german company called Reinz

My gasket supplier (Kellog) has never let me down on water pumps

Or CAREFUL use of Silicone RTV gasket stuff. Careful as in = a very thin bead of it on one clean surface, no thicker than a matchstick max, then leave to dry off for 5 minutes or maybe a bit more, until it feels rubbery to the touch, no longer sticky, then reassemble (both surfaces CLEAN).

Also have had to use 'instant gasket' in the past on the 323F, also on the thermostat housing. Worked perfectly.

I have to ask or I won't sleep = what is a "323F" ?

Mazda ?

Yup, Mazda 323f




Now sadly off the road due to a rotten rear cross member. Had her for 13 years and she'd got 180k on the clock.

Hi Rob, shame about the Mazda

I found a 323F was a Mazda via this Google pic =

Ah, you've found the 323f with the optional 'Tottie pack'
