Review on Gates 43552 Water Pump by Adam Browning

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Where is the thread for the idler pulleys?

The water pump arrived in good condition, the seal was destroyed in the bottom of the box, it had to be replaced. I installed the water pump and noticed that two of the accessory belt tensioner screw holes were unthreaded. So I had to tap the M8x1.25 thread into the holes. Added another 15 minutes to the job. You'd think Gates would have quality control in place to check things as simple as operations.

Pros
  • water pumps
Cons
  • tape
