Reviews of Gates water pump

I went with a gates.

Did a gates kit on mine. Water pump is leaking after 60k miles.

Update: it was the water pump. Got a new Gates water pump (screws and gasket included). Installed it, no sealant or anything. Works flawlessly. Not a drop anywhere.

I used the gates kit from rock auto including the gates water pump… Car seems to be driving fine for the past few thousand miles since install.

Their water pump especially is garbage.

I use the aisin kit or oem honda. I’ve had the tensioners in the dayco kits fail, and the water pumps in the gates kits fail

I usually end up with Gates or AC Delco.

Can't go wrong with a Gates pump.

Mines literally the same story as yours. It’s leaking out the weephole after about a month, less than 1500kms install. Their warranty claim procedure looks as complicated as it can get too

It’s a garbage unit, mine started to weep out from the hole after less than 1500kms. Warranty claim seems extra complicated to deter people from using it too
