Review on MACEL AW5103 Water Pump with Gasket - Buick Allure Cadillac ATS CTS Chevy Equinox Malibu Traverse V6 3.6L - Reliable Performance and Perfect Fit! by Emmanuel Chouinard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Paper Gasket - KEEP THE OLD ONE (if you can use it)

My '09 CTS needed a new water pump at 65,000 miles. Would have been 5 stars but it came with a paper lining that ripped/fell apart as soon as it hit it. Contact with coolant or RVT sealant. I am very happy that I was able to check and reuse the old seal (OEM water pump). Fits with no problems. Otherwise great value for money! If you're new to working with cars like me, be sure to get some new M6-1.0x25mm bolts, the ones from the old pump are mostly one-way bolts. . The maximum torque is 12 ftlbs. Don't break them! The wrench is pretty damn useful too. I could do everything myself. I wish you success.
