Efficient Water Pump for Automotive Use

Based on my experience, the water pump I purchased for my car from this brand WAS the best choice i could make for my automotive needs. This product seamlessly replaced my old unit. It comes with all the necessary accessories making the installation easy. The water pump has excellent longevity and efficiency, making it worth every penny. The only downside is its slightly higher price compared to similar products. Overall, it's a highly recommendable product for those who value efficiency and…

  • Durable and long-lasting
Cons

A stuck fan clutch out of the box, not a stock fan bracket. Rubbish

This is complete rubbish, the fan clutch is taped right out of the box so it sounds like a Mack truck at any coolant temp and engine RPM. The fan clutch should disengage at lower temperatures, but it doesn't in this case. Btw they use studs to attach the fan instead of screws like the OEMs do, so you'll have to find M6 nuts and lock washers lying around in your tool box. give zero stars if possible

Pros
  • It has a limited lifetime warranty
Cons
  • A sleazy purchase for the elderly
