in the last 10+ years have been using HEPU waterpumps.
Reviews of Hepu parts For Business
Germany
Ive reinstalled another new HEPU(made in germany) pump due to mileage. I don't think anything is wrong with the old one. When I cleaned the o-ring seal contact area on the block it was corroded right where it left an imprint.
If you're worried, replace both the water pump and thermostat. I would use a Mahle, Facet, or Wahler thermostat, and either a Hepu or Graf water pump.
It has a hepu water pump
GMB or Hepu pumps are generally good for 100k or more.\n\nThat leak is due to the donut like seal between the pump and the head.
When I was shopping around for cooling system replacement parts, I wasn't sure if GRAF or HEPU made a better metal-impellar water pump. I ended up purchasing both the GRAF and HEPU, and found the HEPU to have a better fit and finish compared to the GRAF.
My original plastic impeller pump failed at 145k miles. I replaced with with a metal impeller pump (Hepu IIRC).
If the hepu water pump I put on my 3.0T is anything to go by, I don't know that I would recommend them for chains.
I put a Hepu water pump in about 20k miles ago.
Update. The replacement HEPU water pump is now leaking.. from the freeze plug…
