Owner reviews for water pump

Geba, Hepu or Graf are all good quality and should all have metal impellers. I have been told that Graf is a little better quality, but I don't know.

replaced it with a Bosch water pump and that thing is still going strong. Great warranty, too

Mine started leaking last night. Took it to the dealership this morning and just got the call that they installed a new water pump under a recall. No charge.

PIERBURG makes a good water pump...

Hepu--the bomb,99% reliability,MADE IN GERMANY.

Graf and Hepu make 12v metal impeller pumps, direct fit no mods.

I had been hearing a hitch-pitched noise from my engine that almost sounded like a vacuum cleaner about 5-10 minutes after engine start up. Took the car into the dealer to find that it was a water pump failure (as I kind of knew from poking around here). It looks like this is a fairly common issue for 2012's unfortunately, but just a heads up for people as this didn't trigger a CEL or anything.

ok, so found the problem. WATER PUMP BEARING SEIZED!! Duralast quality and so it ate the belt.

I just lost my motor on christmas day due to water pump failure (hepu brand)

Had the first water pump replaced 02/13. The coolant warning light went on this week so I made an appointment with my dealer. 25k and on the 2nd replacement water pump.
