Review on Beck Arnley 131 2288 Engine Water by Jason Page

Revainrating 4 out of 5

OEM quality. Highly recommended for purchase.

Beck Armley Water Pump is an OEM pump for Hyundai and KIA vehicles. This pump normally gets 5 stars because it is an OEM pump. However, there are two versions of this pump. One that requires the o-ring that this pump has and one that requires a regular gasket. The early second generation (XM) KIA Sorentos used a traditional gasket to seal the pump to the engine. Later versions used an O-ring. The reason for the 4 stars is that the seller didn't specify that two versions were made for the second generation Sorento. In my case, I had to purchase an additional gasket for about $30 to complete the pump installation. In addition, there were pump positioning pins on the pump; however, the dowel pins were pressed into the engine block. I had to remove the pins from the resulting water pump. All in all this is a great water pump and highly recommended.
