What a POS!!!!

Finally got the pump on what a Pita this was...after half way through the grinding the Dremel dies...finished it off with a Drill using the grinding stone. Needless to say the final product ended up looking like that Corky had done it. The pump just wouldn't fit...turned out had to grind away some of the Pump housing it's self....another PITA....who designed this thing?

Dude, everyone told you that you would have to grind on the pump housing to make the CSI fit. What are you bitching about?

For the record, CSI is not a POS. Unless the wire breaks.

The grinding I knew about...wasn't aware you had to trim the entire housing though. Just thought it was the 4 little ears...but if you had to grind with a crappy slow poke drill you'd see what the frustrations about...o-well it was worth it.


The grinding stone was kicking ***! Didn't even wear out hardly...the drill dremel wore out first...

CSI....how hard is it to relocate the screws? and include a wiring diagram?

Found an awsome diagram and install guide here...For anyone planning to do this job.

WAter Pump Install

They have a diagram for utilizing a switch or activation light too.
