Owner reviews for water pump
I’m driving a 98 Toyota Camry and just changed the water pump at 300k(which includes changing the timing belt).
Yes, Aisin TKH-002. I personally would only buy from Napa store or Carid.com. Napa is listed as authorized retail for my state. I personally wont trust rockauto for critical parts like this, I have has two experiences with previously used/tampered products from them. I can pay a little more from Carid.com and they shipped directly from Aisin warehouse, not Rockautos random low bid distributor. Amazon and Ebay have a bad reputation for fakes, no personal experience with that.
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.
I have a 2018 A7 and I had to replace the water pump (which apparently is pretty standard). The dealership charged me $1450 in an affluent Philly suburb for what that\u2019s worth.
Trying to replace my water pump on my 2000 Ford Ranger 3.0L (flex fuel). I can’t find a video that performs this repair on my model; 4cylinders and v6 4.0 yes, but not the 3.0. There’s 12 bolts on the WPump, 11 are EZPZ, one is behind something else. I’ve got everything off except for one bolt that is stuck behind the “mount” for the pulley tensioner/AC compressor. It’s not the power steering pump, it’s not the AC compressor, and it’s not the pulley tensioner - *it’s what all 3 of these things are mounted too.* I’ve loosened 3 bolts that seem to mount this “mount” to the engine block, but I must be missing 1+, as it won’t budge.
Gates waterpump broke in 2, the base is still mated to the block with all the bolts in-tact
Fuckt this shit why can’t VW the fix the root cause of the problem which is the goddamn shitty plastic waterpump?
I bought Dolz water pump some time ago (NA 1.4) and it failed at 30k km (was supposed to last 90k km+). It started leaking through weep hole.
This has happened to my husband. He drives 2021 m340i with 17k miles. Water pump exploded last night.
