Review on ๐Ÿ’ง Gates 43538 Premium Engine Water Pump - High Performance and Durability for Optimal Cooling by Matt Charlton

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Only lasted 5 years (40,000 miles - we don't drive much)

The other day I heard the familiar rattling of bearings and of course there was no coolant in the reservoir because everything was on the floor. This thing has only survived 5 years of light driving. The OEM water pump lasted 100,000 before it failed so I'll spend the extra money and buy an Aisin to replace that one.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • low repairability
