Can someone tell me if the water pump is exactly same item as on the original VW LT application for this engine, or was it modified IN ANY WAY by Volvo when they sourced the engine? I ask because my water pump has started leaking badly (not the 'o' ring seal, the actual pump), and I have now bought one from a VW commercial vehicle dealership (because of the much cheaper prices, I have had other parts from them) ready to have the garage fit for me, and need to know if it is exactly the same. I would guess that they are the same as the ones used on the LT, I can't see why Volvo would have altered the water pumps, but I need to be certain.

Thanks All.
