Water pump OEM FORD or Saleri
I binned off my original water pump which was now made of cheese and spraying my engine bay like that and bought an SIL Saleri (Italian) pump online. Metal impeller and comes with the seals kit for it too. been perfect for years.
Pros: perfect for years, metal impeller
I replaced a perfectly functioning OE Saleri at 12 years/90,000 miles. I will stick with the OE Saleri even though it has the plastic impeller.
Pros: perfectly functioning, long lifespan
Cons: plastic impeller
Mileage: 144840 km
i replace with OE saleri pumps every so often and havent opted for a stewart pump.
Pros: reliable replacement
Saleri is what I put in. No issues about a year in.
Pros: no issues
In the 11000 or so km i have driven the vehicle i have already had 1) Water pump replacement, 2) Front engine cover slow leak ( awaiting parts on backorder) & 2 inspections covered under warranty.
Pros: warranty covered repairs
Cons: slow leak, parts backorder
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
Mileage: 11000 km
they slapped the fucking water pump behind the timing cover ?? Just go German engineering and make an electric water pump so you aren’t doing a chain service to do a water pump.
Cons: poor water pump placement, expensive repair
Vehicle:
Ford Fusion
the only thing that’s had any problems is a water pump
Cons: had problems
Vehicle:
Ford
Here’s my experience with the 2019 for what it’s worth:
Bought a 2019 with 5.0, xlt with 20k miles for $41k in Aug 2022.
-Water pump and vct’s replaced at 50k miles.
-New engine at 98k miles due to oil consumption (2 dealerships and 4 months later). Replaced in Aug of 2024
-102k miles the trans started acting funny, fully grenading at 112k miles. Replaced Feb of 2025
-126k miles and the transmission cooler fails midway through a 3hour trip with the pop up camper and family in tow.
Cons: transmission cooler fails
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 50000 km
The water pump was defective as well upon diagnostic. Leak in coolant as well. 2022 with 20k miles.
Cons: defective, coolant leak
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
Mileage: 20000 km
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.
Cons: leaked all coolant
Vehicle:
