vs
Water pump Gates or GMB
Me and various others I know have used GMB water pumps before with no issues.
Pros: no issues
I been running a Gmb pump for couple thousand miles now. Super cheap on rock auto, they also sell a high performance one. I bought both
Pros: super cheap
I usually end up with Gates or AC Delco.
Pros: reliable brands
Can't go wrong with a Gates pump.
Pros: OE on many cars
I went with Gates. My oem pump on my Mazda CX9 failed at 90k.... The bearing failed and the amount of bearing material in the housing was crazy.
Cons: bearing failed, crazy material
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 90000 km
Their water pump especially is garbage.
Cons: water pump is garbage
I use the aisin kit or oem honda. I’ve had the tensioners in the dayco kits fail, and the water pumps in the gates kits fail
Cons: water pumps fail
Mines literally the same story as yours. It’s leaking out the weephole after about a month, less than 1500kms install. Their warranty claim procedure looks as complicated as it can get too
Cons: leaking out weephole, complicated warranty
Mileage: 1500 km
It’s a garbage unit, mine started to weep out from the hole after less than 1500kms. Warranty claim seems extra complicated to deter people from using it too
Cons: garbage unit, weeping from hole, complicated warranty
Mileage: 1500 km
Gates waterpump broke in 2, the base is still mated to the block with all the bolts in-tact
Cons: catastrophic failure
