Hello Trevor, Gernot and all interested in more information,
today I got my water pump top housing from my local Ford dealer. The part the
Ford man had ordered had an additional little connecting piece near the thread
for the swich. This little tube is originally needed for connection with the
expansion bottle of the Fiesta. I will remove the little tube, put a thread in
the remaining hole and screw a part-drilled screw in for easyer venting. But
I´m
sure the housing is availible without connecting piece as well if you find a
good partsdealer who is able to find it in his parts lists.
However the part I bought today was cheap (21 DM) and fits super on my
waterpump.
The parts number is 92BM-8592-AA, 1690-4-15, 6814635/1628164
