Review on πŸš— Gates 45005 Automotive Water Pump by Jorge Kehayas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Leak after 5 years - poor quality

I bought this Gates water pump in 2015 from Revain. I chose Gates over other brands because of its reputation as a leading manufacturer of automotive products. I was wrong - after 5 years it started leaking. I keep adding coolant and it keeps dripping. First I said I would only change seals as the pump is made by Gates and should last 5+ years. I did all this and today I noticed a puddle of coolant under the car. It should flow out of the drain hole. Their warranty is only 12,000 miles or 1 year. I'll look around for something else with a lifetime warranty. I will not buy Gates again.

Pros
  • cool product
