Review on πŸ”§ GMB 180-1070 Aftermarket Water Pump with Gasket - Superior Replacement for OE Model by Chris Norman

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Do not use. on water pumps

do not use. This pump was installed in a specialist workshop. After 20000 km, the drain hole began to flow. At 63,000 miles, a bearing suddenly exploded and all of the coolant immediately leaked out of the car. I had hoped for a greater warning than this. As a result, he got stuck on a freeway exit and had to be towed home. Not worth the $10 savings compared to a GRAF made in Italy VW OEM. It's sad because GMB is made in Japan. I expected at least 150,000 miles like with the factory pump. Note. All of these water pumps come with a cheap paper gasket. Always upgrade and buy metal/rubber or use sealant very carefully.

Pros
  • all parts included for easy installation
Cons
  • defective
