I had a CSR electric pump on the car and it died. I'm replacing it with a meziere pump. On the CSR there is a slot for the O ring there is not on the meziere. My question is the gasket from the factory is only a O ring. Do I have to make a gasket? Thanks Jim

 

Your question is confusing. There should be an o-ring or gasket between the pump and the pump housing. Either purchase an o-ring to fit or make a gasket.

 

What failed on the csr? Make a gasket it's not hard.

 

if your old gasket from the CSR won't work, just get a stock WP "O" ring gasket for the meziere. It uses the stock one

 

I'm not sure what failed on the CSR electric pump but it stopped working after 4 years. The problem with using just the O ring is there is no where for it to sit/seat in the new meziere pump unlike the CSR. It sounds like I will be making a gasket which is not a problem. I was wondering how other people mounted there meziere pump and what type of gasket did you use?

 

i run the o ring with no problem nor any leaks

 

Just an FYI to all using the Meziere pumps, mine after sometime quit working, I was going to trash it then I decided to do some trouble shooting. I pulled it off, hot wired it to the battery and started messing with the wires going into the pump and it started working, upon further investigation, I guess they draw a few amps and the wires were getting burnt. Spliced new ones in and it still lives. A friend of mine had the same problem and when I told him what I did, he did the same and his pump started working also....So before you trash those pumps, check the wiring...

 

I just used RTV (ultra grey I think) on my Meziere and haven't had one drop come out.

 

Here's the part number for the o-ring if you need it...

 

The right stuff works great until you need to take it apart.

 

Come on AC, that's why they have crow bars and sledge hammers!

 

i to used the o ring provided no problems
