Review on ACDelco 96930074 Original Equipment Water by Josh Lockhart

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It's a cheaper unit - ACDelco also offers a superior alternative

I would not recommend this item if it is the same as a GM OEM water pump. ACDelco apparently sells two versions of the same water pump. One is a genuine GM part, the other is an upgraded unit from the "Professional" line. The professional version of this pump has the following part number: 252-888. At the time of writing, it's priced at about half the price of this pump and appears to be all-aluminum construction, a must-have improvement over the original GM. Components causing premature timing failures on Aveos. Make sure you buy a Gates brand timing belt and find metal idler/tensioner pulleys. More information: [.] Good luck!

Pros
  • Uniform wall sections and smooth coolant flow cavities for efficient operation
Cons
  • Reliability
