Water pump OEM FORD or Pierburg
PIERBURG makes a good water pump...
Pros: good water pump
from 88k to 150k miles, I put in a new water pump ($27). otherwise very reliable and easy to find parts as there are tons of them in the junkyards.
Pros: reliable, easy to find parts
Vehicle:
Ford Escort
Mileage: 150000 km
I would get a vdo/continental water pump. I’ve bought the all aluminum water pump from pierburg and it died in about 800 miles.
Cons: died in 800 miles
Mileage: 800 km
I have a 2021 BS BB and I’m on my 3rd water pump replacement. 1st one around 20k miles, 2nd at 40k, now at the dealer with 51k miles and replacing it yet again.
Pros: null
Cons: frequent water pump replacement
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
Mileage: 51000 km
I picked the pierburg for all aluminum casing and impeller. They were both about the same price last time I needed to get one. Note that the pierburg failed at not even 10k miles. I replaced with another pierburg chalking it up to bad luck. The only advantage I can think of with the pierburg is the fact that you can torque down the hoses that use clamps and not have to worry about cracking the housing. But in reality doubtful that is a risk. Also it won’t be in service long enough to get brittle enough to matter.
Pros: all aluminum casing, torque down hoses
Cons: failed prematurely
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 10000 km
