Review on Gates 42134 Premium Engine πŸ’§ Water Pump: Enhanced Performance and Quality by Jayshawn Cuatlayol

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Installed on 04 1.8L Miata NB

No problems - works perfectly. You don't have to remove the thermostat housing to turn this pump on and off. DO NOT remove the case unnecessarily. If so, purchase a new body O-ring from your dealer or here at Revain. Thermostat housings are EXTREMELY brittle and if you reassemble them with anything other than a new factory o-ring in perfect condition you will crack the thermostat housing. It takes about a week for one to arrive if the dealer orders it for you and you can't get it anywhere else at NB. Just spend an extra 10 minutes working the pump all the way around the case and save yourself $110 and a week of downtime.

Pros
  • Spare parts
Cons
  • Communication with seller
