New water pump - HEPU $30.00
Hepu is OEM, never had any issues with one.
It's quality components from GermanAutoParts. Hepu WP, Conti belt, and NTN tensioner pulley, damper, and idler pulley.
The two timing belts I've done the water pump have been that design.
It was a while ago, but I think I used a HEPU pump when I did mine.
Every one I've ever gotten from GAP has been HEPU. The one in my GLI was really noisy for almost a year after installation. The other two in my GTIs never gave me any problems.
I had one go bad on my Ford flex... The pump is inside the timing chain cover. Most places have to drop the engine, I got lucky and the place I went the guy was able to do it without removing the engine.
The 3.5 engine is garage with this design. Had an Edge from new and out 150,000 miles on it in 13 years. I was always dreading this failure and luckily dodged it before selling it.
Awful design by Ford to put the water pump inside the engine. I almost bought one of these used a few years ago, but backed out after reading about 3-4k jobs to replace a water pump at 180-100k miles.
Pretty sure this is the motor that needs the engine dropped to do waterpump and timing components. Bad bad design
