Gates belts , if you have a turbo, and blow a belt every 3 rides like me, they replace - no questions asked. Way better than buying a take off or slightly used imo
Pros: they replace no questions

Pros: holds temperature well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Part number: 33209

I went with Gates. My oem pump on my Mazda CX9 failed at 90k.... The bearing failed and the amount of bearing material in the housing was crazy.
Cons: bearing failed, crazy material
Vehicle:
Mazda

The new Gates water pump installed last month started leaking. I have only driven around 1000km. Does this happen a lot for Gates pumps?
Cons: started leaking
Mileage: 1000 km
Years ago I would use the Gates kit on my 03 Evo with no issue, but a few years back I had a failure (from a different component) after 19k miles and the Gates pump was weeping when I removed it. The shop I use also doesn’t recommend them either so I go OEM for the water pump anymore.
Cons: weeping when removed, shop doesn't recommend
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi Lancer
Mileage: 30577 km
water pump failed at 101,000. Shop replaced under warranty. That next one failed at 110,000. Took a little work since shop changed owners but got the the water pump replaced at no cost. Shop said the two bad ones were Gates
Cons: failed repeatedly, short lifespan
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Sonic
Mileage: 101000 km
I had nothing but problems with Gates water pumps in my 4Runner - they would always start leaking profusely from the weep hole after a few days of use. Replaced it three times under warranty
Cons: leaking profusely, repeated failures
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
