If I understood the reason behind the specification of using 518 then I'd be able to decide if I wanted to use a substitute, as I dont know its properties I'll stick to what the manual says for now.

Its application is for sealing the water pump to the engine.

Loctite is a brand name not a product. 518 or gasket eliminator as it's official title is the product, as is 5922 which is an example of a flange sealant.
What your saying is similar to if I were asking for some beans and u told me that any Heinz product would do, if I listened then came back with some ketchup that wouldnt go as well on my toast ;)

it was for fitting the waterpump whilst doing the timig belt on the megane but it didnt much matter, never got to do it anyway.
