Review on ๐Ÿ’ง Efficient Performance with Gates 43034 Water Pump: A Trustworthy Solution by Jim Bijelic

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good pump, no problems, no leaks or noise, check a few tips

I need this to replace the water pump in my SUV; It made some bearing noise, although there was no leak yet. The water pump, which I received new in the description, comes with a gasket and a black pipe for the heater (which was not mentioned in the description). Upon delivery they must have dropped the box and when I examined the pump prior to fitting I found that a very small crack/dent created a bulge in the surface that was supposed to sit in the motor and gasket, nothing scary, i just write it down. Make sure you check the pump for this type of damage before installing it or you could end up with a leak after all your hard work. I also replaced the belt, pulleys, hose and bought a special tool. to remove and reinstall the fan blades. Gates has a very nice app on Google Play, the nice thing is that you can check and check the parts you need to work while checking your car. I hope you enjoy the comments and annotations.
