Aisin pump $67 on rockauto. I know they make a ton of Toyota OEM water pumps, not sure about this specific model.
Pros: OEM water pumps
Vehicle:
Toyota
I wish I knew myself before my overheating probs with the failed first gen water pumps from toyota. Once the new pump was in the engine would work really well when it comes to heating and cooling.
Pros: engine would work well
Cons: overheating probs
I also have the Blueprint brand pump in another one of mine and I'm happy with the quality of either brand.
Pros: happy with the quality
Sounds a bit lock rod knock? At the same time from my experience when the water pumps start going bad on Subarus it sounds 1:1 like rod knock. Please get your timing belt and water pump looked at.
Pros: sounds like rod knock
Vehicle:
Subaru
I had a 2017 GT… here are common issues that I also ended up having:
Water pump went out at 60k
AC started to struggle, especially on hot days, around 70k miles
Cons: water pump failure, AC issues
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
Mileage: 60000 km
Happened to me also. Bought an oem ford motorcraft water pump for my f150 and almost ruined my block trying to install it . Was cast slightly larger than oem. Ended up returning it and buying one from ford , fit right in.
Pros: fit right in
Cons: cast slightly larger
Vehicle:
Ford
During COVID, that water pump was on backorder from Ford so I used one from Gates. I guess Gates had a bad batch and 2 of their's failed in the span of less than a year.
Cons: bad batch, failed quickly
The Aisin kits are fine. I would not use a gates kit; the water pumps are junk and so are the tensioners
Pros: Aisin kits are fine
Cons: water pumps are junk
what I had problems with is with Graf water pump, that was included as part of FCP euro cooling system kit, water pump seal around the bearing started pouring coolant like a waterfall after only 11k miles, I replaced it with a Stewart pump
Cons: seal started pouring coolant
Mileage: 11000 km
