    One good way to check something like this is to see if part #s match, but sometimes #s get updated, so not always reliable.

    In the case of your VF, i would very strongly suspect the pumps are the same, and change- over would be easy once the cooling system is drained.

    "Invisible Cities" has paid his dues and has the definitive answer to most VF500 questions..........
