The AISIN WPT-190 I bought on Amazon for $142 was was legit OEM. AISIN box etc. Toyota was scratched off the unit as expected.
AISIN WPT-190 is $143 on Amazon. Directly comparing it with one from bought from dealer. Aside from the box, they look identical with the same plastic wrap.
The water pump is probably the one part on any car I wouldn't cheap out on. Just get an Aisin as the other commenter said.
I used a Gates kit which seemed good quality and included a water pump, tensioner and idler pulleys.
Aisin. The bearings in the idlers are better, the tensioner is better, and the water pump wont fail on you in 20k miles.
Water pumps, I tend to stick with OEM now. Gates used to be great but has gone down hill imo.
Gates water pumps failed on both my friend's Toyota Echo and my Sienna, his after under a year and mine in about 2 years. Less than 3,000 miles on my Sienna since pump was changed. Ugh. The labor cost, of course, is the bee-atch, more than the pump cost, of course.
I bought a Gates water pump off Amazon thinking I could go with a name I trust. Impeller grenaded after 5 months and less than 6k driven.
Like others have suggested, either get an OEM or Aisin water pump or be prepared to make this an annual event.
Installed this GATES water pump 5k miles ago…. Pully seems wobbly as fuck, safe to assume it’s already going out? gonna have to find a better brand
