Owner reviews for water pump

Engine water pump is leaking coolant. The pulley and drive belt are slinging the coolant onto other components. Highly recommend to replace with factory parts.

Electric water pump is leaking, replace with an oem toyota part dont cheap out and go aftermarket on this part.

I ended up going with a Ac Delco one with the double gaskets. No complaints

I got this kit and it’s working good, all that matters is the water pump is aisin

I had a Saleri pump. I changed it at 100,000 in 2013 and bearing was good at around 145,000 in 2021. I inspected it with a camera. It appeared to be leaking at the gasket.

I went with a gates.

Aisin Timing and Waterpump Installed... not buying again as the plastic turbine broke and caused the headgasket to blow.

2018 fatlas here. 3.6L 87000km on my second water pump.

My 16’ mk7 is showing some age, and it is in the shop now for water pump & thermostat (leaks unfortunately at 95k mi, original pump).

2019 Audi Q8 water pump failed around 80k miles. After looking into it, I found out Audi originally used a 4-bolt water pump and pulley design on these engines. The problem with the 4-bolt setup is that it didn’t distribute load evenly. Over time this caused premature wear on the shaft and bearings, which led to leaks and pump failures much earlier than expected. Audi must have known it was an issue because they stopped producing the 4-bolt pump and redesigned it with a 6-bolt system that spreads the load better and holds up longer. This wasn’t just normal wear—it was a weak design from the start.
