In my experience taking them apart, they are (or were) the same pump. Same casting, same seal same everything.

And now, a Poll...

Do Graf water pumps:
1). Suck?
2). Blow?
3). Both?
4). Neither?
5). Make margs?

I concur that Graf are some of the good ones. Put a Meyle in it and then see if your mind changes about Graf.


A Miss Graf is as good as a Meyle. Graf helped Open the French Market, afterall

Oh, too bad.

At next year's SEMA show I'm going to hunt down that Meyle company rep for the western U.S and give him hell for not knowing how to pronounce it.

(Edit: Note diligent backspin technique to avoid double-faulting)
