Ric-  Are you out there?  Please contact me off-line.   Thanks,  Brad

P.S. to anyone who missed my first message - this bearing *may* work, but
it's not a plug-n-play deal.  I'll post details when/if I figure this
out.

Subject: 164 Water Pump

I had what I thought was a water pump noise. It was actually the
idler/tensioner bearing going bad. My dealer, who is an
Alfa/Fiat/Ferrari rep, uses a Fiat bearing in its place. The original
has only one bearing race where the Fiat replacement has two races-which
insures longer life and more quite operation. Another bonus was that it
was half the price of the original.
FYI Fiat part# 4443446 @ $39.91.
My 164 has 108,000 miles on original water pump.

Just my 2 cents.
