Review on 💦 Aqua Pump by Wayde Lash

This was one of the cheapest water pumps for my car ('09 Vibe/Matrix 1.8L) but it looked exactly like the OEM pump that came out. Let's hope it's better quality than the OEM, which only lasted 28,000 miles and long enough to be out of warranty. Gates is a brand I've used before, so I was comfortable choosing them over more expensive pumps. They also have a reasonably helpful website. The store charged $500 to install a new one. I did this in about 2 hours without realizing what I was doing. This car is easy. Helpful tip: DO NOT spill antifreeze on the belt or it will make a high-pitched squeak that will drive all the local dogs crazy. If your vehicle has a high mileage, you should still replace this belt.
