The AISIN kit is the same water pump and tensioner as the OEM equivalent with out the Honda stamped on it. I personally would still get the OEM timing and Drive belt though.
I’ve changed two water pumps with Aisin brand WP’s from EBay … about 120$ each … and I’ve done fine so far, logged over 100K on them first and then so,d the car. it’s still going strong. the second is going strong in my current car.
I still prefer the Aisin water pumps over the new current Yamada made water pumps. Better fit and finish, fewer leaks/defects (lot of the Yamada pumps are bowed right out of the box), and Aisin breaks the edges whereas the Yamadas are almost cut your hands up levels of sharp
Replaced with an Aisin and no complaints
Mine does that after replacing all timing components with Aisin kit (replaced it myself). And it’s a known thing that Aisin water pumps make “warbling” sound. I’m assuming that’s what you’re hearing
I ordered this water pump from aisin hoping to receive an oem quality part but it seems the molding is not of quality.
Bought an Aisin waterpump off ebay and installed during the swap but it is making an awful racket and has me concerned it is a fake or otherwise defective out the box. Not sure how to share a video here but it sounds like a loud buzzing and i dont remember the old waterpump making that noise.
My GTI’s water pump shat itself around 60k kilometres too :( going strong since but it’s a very common fault unfortunately
Fuckt this shit why can’t VW the fix the root cause of the problem which is the goddamn shitty plastic waterpump?
Our 2017 Polo, 85km, had a water pump replaced by dealer a couple of years ago.
$1600. Had a heart attack.
