Water pump Gates or OEM Toyota
Reviews
Get a Gates water pump. Good quality part for a good price.
Pros: good quality, good price
Vehicle:
Mazda
I have had very good experiences with the NEW Gates pumps and they make a replacement tube as well. I have installed them in 17 4.0 engines over the last 4 years and had no comeback failures.
Pros: very good experiences, no failures
Had a friend rebuild his 22RE, guy ordered his parts from eBay. Parts to replace which I believe is a must, water pump, t-stat, oil pump, timing chain and tensioner.
Pros: parts are a must
That looks like the water pump but I can be wrong. Also, there is no dipstick for the transmission anymore. Depending on the engine, there is a drain bolt on the side of the transmission on the driver side I believe near the drivetrain.
How many miles do you have? Its probably time to change the water pump if it's making noise and if it is, it needs to be replaced before it causes a whole world of hurt to your wallet.
Cons: making noise
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
Installed a Gates water pump on a Toyota Rav4 with a V6. Needed it now and couldn't wait for an OEM or Aisin one from Rockauto. I should have waited because this pump didn't last two months before pissing coolant.
Cons: didn't last two months
Vehicle:
Toyota
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.
Cons: pumps failed, high labor cost
Vehicle:
Toyota Sienna
Mileage: 4828 km
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.
Pros: trusted brand initially
Cons: failed quickly
Mileage: 6000 km
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
Cons: pulley wobbly, premature failure
Mileage: 8047 km
I had a gates kit on my Subaru and the water pump failed and leaked after less than 1000 miles.
Cons: failed and leaked, short lifespan
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 1000 km
The water pumps i’ve seen leak a few times on the v6 hondas.
Cons: leak a few times
Vehicle:
