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.
Hepu--the bomb,99% reliability,MADE IN GERMANY.
Graf and Hepu make 12v metal impeller pumps, direct fit no mods.
I've also got a bad water pump.
Any replacement whether it br Graf or Hepu are going to have a metal impeller and be an exact factory replacement. The wheel itself will be identical in shape and circulate the same volume of coolant.
I ordered one from MJM Autohaus, a Hepu unit and its impeller is metal
i bought the dieselgeek timing belt kit which includes the Behr german Thermostat and Hepu water pump. he says that the stock OE style thermostat is better and the reman OE pump (which now uses metal impellors) is better than the hepu.
OEM. Went aftermarket 2 times in a year replacing that pump. Finally bit the bullet and paid for toyota part.
This was a Hepu pump. With far less than 60k miles. I'm thinking the coolant had gotten too old. Can't figure why else the pump would wear so fast. Noise statrted after coolant change, am running an AC delete setup.
