6 months and 4000km on mine. Only found out a while after Graf has a bad rep. But no problems with mine yet.
When you do get a pump, buy the entire pump (front and back hemisphere) (like a GRAF brand). If this engine has been moving grit, the rear half of the water pump will be worn more open and not be able to move fluid efficiently.
Looks fine to me. I typically install Graf water pumps which are a similar stamped metal design and works just fine.
I have over 200k on the Graf I installed at 120k miles.
I have a Graf and I haven't had any problems.
I've also had a Graf I think it was, it did have a metal impeller, which started leaking after 7 yrs.
The water pump was defective as well upon diagnostic. Leak in coolant as well. 2022 with 20k miles.
The part they had sent to replace for a recall leaked all of the coolant out. Luckily the tech caught it and ordered another part.
Had my water pump go out around 29K miles this past winter. My coolant was very low and my heat was working properly. Luckily I was still under warranty. Keep an eye on that water pump. They’re notorious for failing.
Have had bad luck with graf metal impeller pumps, multiple failures over 2 different cars.
