Review on Gates Premium Engine Water Pump 43513 by Michael Thaxton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Water pump seal failed after 43,000 services (paper seal) We ordered this as a replacement and were pleasantly surprised that it came with a good metal seal

We Bought a Gates timing belt kit that came with a water pump and all. After 43,000 TÜV, the water pump seal kits failed (paper seal). We ordered this as a replacement and were pleasantly surprised that it came with a good metal gasket. That water pump has done its job and my car is no longer spitting out coolant. I didn't need anything special as the car I put this on is 170k. Good price and fast 2-day premium shipping.

Pros
  • quality assurance with 100% leak and function testing of seals, bearings, castings and fully assembled water pump
Cons
  • Unfashionable
