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.

Pros: exact factory replacement

Leaks:

Metal impeller model is available but can be hard to find (Hepu brand). Recommended interval for changing is 80-100K depending on who you talk to. But many fail earlier and may fail as early as 20k. Change as preventive maintenance.

Pros: metal impeller available

Cons: may fail early

Vehicle: Volkswagen

I have the Hepu unit in my car. It's been going great for the past 45k miles. Both are good options. I would go with what is cheapest.

Pros: going great

Mileage: 72000 km

After researching I decided upon a Saleri pump from World Impex since it has the resin impeller and is 1/4 the cost of OEM. Well, the first one arrived with one of the vanes broken off the impeller. Impex rma'd it, but the second one arrived in even worse shape with a big chunk broken off the impeller. I attribute it to poor packaging.

Pros: 1/4 the cost of OEM

Cons: vanes broken off
