Many awkward elements here
- Wizzard states that the water pump from a Safrane, although with theotically same engine, does not fit
- part number should be 7701468082 but parts "compatible" with this reference do not fit (cf parts from Oscaro.fr)
- SRG2 states the water pump is inside the engine, a statement I agree with... From my standpoint, this pump is drawn by the the timing belt while the picture given by Wizzard give me a real feeling of a water pump drawn by an ancillary device belt
- Wizzard states the car is given for 168PS versus 194 for the L7X on both laguna and Peugeot406coupe while Z7X is given for 168/170
The pulley looks like to be drawn by an ancillary device drive belt, not by a timing belt, isn't it ?
So My provisional conclusion is that we are obviously not speaking about the same car (Laguna 3.0 V6 1999) and/or engine (L7X versus previous Z7X ?)
Is the car really from 1999 ? (Normally Lag1 phase1 Z7X ---> 04/98 pahse2 from 04/98 onwards except may be for some cars with automatic transmission)
Is the car with automatic transmission ?
Is the car sold in the UK with a different engine from the one sold in France ?
Is the engine a L7X or a previous Z7X one ?
Which are the first elements of the VIN VF1abcdefghi ? ir order to get an idea if the engine is L7X or Z7X
Sorry but I am from from Renault and does not own a Lag V6 which explains more questions than answwers, sorry for that
For Z7X have a look to
