Hi, is there any info on the quality of Graf/Metelli water pumps nowadays. They used to be OEM for italian brands. I am a bit low on funds and here it is less than half the price of other big names like INA or the KS/Pierburg that BW has in stock.

From the pics I can find, the impeller is pressed sheet metal and it has paper gasket in the kit.

Before I had Starline for around 10 years but now it is a bit noisy.
Thanks!

Thanks.
On the end I got an even cheaper (possibly chinese made) Denckermann branded one locally for around a tenner.
I will see how it will hold.
