Review on πŸ”§ Honda/Acura V6 Timing Belt Kit & Water Pump Replacement - OEM Quality by Patrick Jarvis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Old parts! Do not buy!

DO NOT BUY! I bought these parts and now paid to have the water pump replaced twice in less than 1000 miles. Then, after less than 1,500 miles, the timing belt failed, causing my engine to have bent valves. I now have $4,000 for a new engine. Spend the extra money on GENUINE parts. These looked very old. The belt looked normal but apparently wasn't. The store said it was simply completely destroyed. The next part of the check relates to the point at which the water pump fails. We've been smelling coolant leaks since installing these parts. We hoped it was just a coolant leak, but it turned out to be coming from the water pump. The water pump seal is so dry and brittle that it would not seal. I ended up having to pay twice for replacing the water pump, the second time I had to tow the car to the store. A liter of coolant was lost every 10 km. It was a complete leak along the way. It's definitely not worth saving money

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Hard to say
