Review on πŸ’§ Gates Premium Engine Water Pump (43528) – Enhanced for Optimal Performance by Juan Anderson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The picture is inaccurate - stay away.

The studs were not included in the kit so fitting the pulley and fan was a nightmare. They are M8x1.25 threaded and while the old pump's studs were 30mm long, even the 25mm bolts were too long. I ended up having to shorten them by adding a nut making them about 20mm long. The studs could not be removed from the old pump without damaging the studs themselves. This rating refers to 1GR-FE (Toyota 4runner 2004). Maybe it is compatible with other engines.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
