Zetec water pump help!
Hi guys,
I am currently confusing myself with my 1.8 silvertop zetec rebuild and which way the water pump should run. I don't want to cook an engine
because I have made a silly mistake at this stage.
I replaced the water pump, as the bearing had gone, with the identical 1993 Ford Mondeo one. I am not sure if this should be running clockwise or
anti-clockwise to work correctly, my set up can be seen in the picture below, with the pump running clockwise. From some of the forum posts I have
seen people replace the Mondeo pump with the Orion or Escort water pump as this runs in the opposite direction. Can anyone tell me which pump I should
be using?
I still need a 5/6 grooved pulley for the water pump which I understand can be borrowed off a Fiesta/Escort. Are these the correct cars to be
borrowing the pulley from? Or does anyone have a spare kicking around? Mine originally came with a smooth pulley as the back face of the belt was in
contact with the pulley when running.
 
Description
Cheers,
Matt

Yep you want the escort pump not the mondeo one and the escort pulley as well.

Cheers guys,
That makes things clearer, sadly it means buying another new water pump, much better than replacing an engine though!

Just run an idler to get it going the right way? Cheaper than a new pump??

Having fitted the 'wrong' pump and added an idler, I would definatly go for the
escort pump and pulley etc. 
I have purchased the correct parts and will fit them on the next major service
