Water pump OEM Toyota or Pierburg
Reviews
The all metal pierburg water pumps last longer than the plastic ones.
Pros: longer lasting
I'd recommend looking at an upgraded Pierburg water pump. None of the plastic bits & will save you from replacing it again in a few years.
Pros: no plastic parts, long-lasting
Vehicle:
BMW
Have installed many pierburg Full alum cast pumps as well with good results. The Pierburgs are made in china FYI
Pros: good results
I went from that just up to the Pierburg ones and it was a night and day difference.
Pros: significant improvement, better performance
have a pierburg water pump, it’s holding up pretty well.
Pros: holding up well
The Pierburg pump is an all aluminum upgrade. I put one in a couple months ago. It works great, less prone to leaking and I have only ever read/heard good things about it. It is even a few dollars cheaper than the OE VDO pump.
Pros: works great, less prone to leaking, all aluminum
My Tundra was awesome, but guzzled fuel and I drive like an old grandpa. 13-14 mpg is expected. Also, Tundras are fairly expensive to maintain compared to Ford. My water pump went out and it was about $1k to get fixed.
Pros: Tundra was awesome
Cons: guzzled fuel, expensive maintain
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
I too chose pierburg from fcp. Questionable weather it\u2019s any better than oem. I appreciated the all aluminum housing of the pierburg as it provides one less failure point which is the possibility of the plastic cracking due to an over torqued hose clamp.
Pros: all aluminum housing, less failure point
Cons: questionable improvement over OEM
Vehicle:
BMW
I find it weird that the water pump went bad since i changed it about a year ago with a Pierburg water pump. Next morning my car started overheating. Tried bleeding the system and the pump wouldn’t engage.
Cons: pump went bad, car overheating, pump wouldn't engage
Vehicle:
BMW
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
