When I drove a Volvo I just did a belt and water pump every year. OE Aisin one every time.
Aisin is what my shop used when mine started to die at 140k. No problems so far at 150k
Go for Aisin, Toyota just repackages same pump so skip the brand tax.
Aisin pump $67 on rockauto. I know they make a ton of Toyota OEM water pumps, not sure about this specific model.
I'd swap them out for multi-layer steel gaskets and new head bolts. Given the engine is in good order and hasn't had a gasket failure yet I'd say you'd be fine skipping the head decking and just install the new gaskets after a good cleaning.
Aisin is the maker of Toyota water pumps.
I replaced mine with a pierburg one. after install it was fine till I hit a decent bump, which led to overheating limp mode (i stopped the car as soon as this happened).
I kind'a have some project and I need to use Pierburg CWA50, all I got in my country is this pump from benz (**A0005001986**), is it same model as Pierburg CWA50? Because the head pump is same but the connector is different (facing upwards). I tried to find specs from this model, the result is empty, can't find any clue about flow rate. I do have original code from Pierburg, which is **7.04933.56.0**, but can't find flow rate either.
I used the same kit on my tl and the water pump started leaking 2 years in.
I went with a aisin kit and at the 2 year mark the water pump went.
