Review on 161A0 29015 Electric Toyota CT200H 161A0 39015 by Ron Thomas
7 months and completed on part
Prius 2011 with 120k. It worked for a while and then started overheating after 7 months and 10,000 miles. I thought it was the thermostat as the water pump had just been replaced and the bottom hose wasn't hot. Replaced thermostat, same problem, still hot. After removing the water pump, I found that the ceramic inside was cracked. Should have bought an OEM. 2 stars as it helped me for a while you would think they would last longer.
Pros
- The purpose of an automotive water pump is to pump coolant through the engine block, radiator and hoses to remove engine heat from the system. The water pump delivers water from the radiator to the engine block. The water acts as a coolant and is circulated through the engine to keep it at a favorable operating temperature. The water supply to the engine depends on the temperature of the engine, which should be neither too high nor too low.
Cons
- sparse manual
