I have a KIAturn 15LMS and the coolant pump went out.
I think it's just the motor not spinning fast enough as I can get it to pump maybe a gallon a minute with low pressure. The motor is 1/2 hp, 1410 / 1700 rpms. I don't have a way to check the RPMs but visually it looks much slower than that. I took apart the pump portion and nothing looks obviously wrong.
The dealer wants almost $3k for the this assembly.
First question would be does anyone know of a direct aftermarket replacement for this pump?
Second question is the motor says "three phase induction motor" 200/220v but it only has two wires + a ground coming out of it. I thought 3 phase meant three wires plus ground.
Should I just bend over and pay the $3k?
Any help is appreciated.
