Leaks:

Ive reinstalled another new HEPU(made in germany) pump due to mileage. I don't think anything is wrong with the old one. When I cleaned the o-ring seal contact area on the block it was corroded right where it left an imprint.

Pros: new pump due mileage

Cons: corroded o-ring seal

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Leaks:

We used to install gates pump and belt kits, but saw too many leaking water pumps well before they were due for another belt. Switched to aisin kits and haven't had a problem.

Pros: no problems with Aisin

Cons: leaking water pumps

Leaks:

a Hepu which went seven years/60,000 miles before it started leaking. I think the additional mass of the metal impeller put more stress on the bearing and seal.

Cons: started leaking, shorter lifespan

Mileage: 96560 km

Am pățit la fel dar cu o pompa Hepu, a mea a avut un sunet înainte să crape și la 120km/h a cedat axul, similar cum a fost a ta.

Cons: sunet înainte să crape, axul a cedat
