As far as a water pump, the $24 Graf is your best choice. If you need the entire pump....that will cost more. I have also gotten very good water pumps from O'Reilley auto as well.....believe it or not. You probably should shy away from the plastic impellars.
I'd recommend getting a kit like this (...) from idp because it has a Graf pump, which has a brass impeller - some kits use plastic.
Geba, Hepu or Graf are all good quality and should all have metal impellers. I have been told that Graf is a little better quality, but I don't know.
Screw NAPA. Get a Meyle or Graf water pump, they meet and exceed OE standards.
Do you still have the original water pump? Those has plastic impellers that fail. Replace it with a metal impeller pump (Graf and Hepu are ideal).
I have a GRAF metal impeller water pump. so far so goof with it, i like it.
Get a new WP with metal impeller, Hepu, Graf.
Just to let everyone know, it did indeed turn out to be a defective O-Ring on the Graf water pump I installed a couple of months ago.
My local aftermarket dealer stopped selling Graf water pumps after two bearing failures in the last month (one failure destroyed the camshaft timing belt).
My OEM plastic one broke and so did the metal-impeller Graf I replaced it with. They Graf seized up and leaked whereas the OEM plastic one just leaked.
