Water pump AISIN or GMB

Just wanted to update the community that it took me about 1.5 hours with me taking things slow to change the water pump on my Kentucky made 2018 Camry SE with 165 miles. I changed the water pump with an Aisin model with a new seal as well as drained and refilled the coolant. From what I understand there is a tsb about a false positive water pump error but in my case it was a part failure. After replacement the check engine code went away on its own immediately on first start.

The aisin on amazon might ship faster ? I would go Aisin tho

The OEM water pump is indeed prone to failure after 100k miles and is easy to replace. It will absolutely cause the death rattle.

The AISIN WPT-190 I bought on Amazon for $142 was was legit OEM. AISIN box etc. Toyota was scratched off the unit as expected.

AISIN WPT-190 is $143 on Amazon. Directly comparing it with one from bought from dealer. Aside from the box, they look identical with the same plastic wrap.

The water pump is probably the one part on any car I wouldn't cheap out on. Just get an Aisin as the other commenter said.

Aisin. The bearings in the idlers are better, the tensioner is better, and the water pump wont fail on you in 20k miles.

I just replaced the water pump on my 2011 today. Took me about 1.5 hours and was 150$ from Amazon. Aisin pump.

Replace water pump. 100% oem or aisin.

Like others have suggested, either get an OEM or Aisin water pump or be prepared to make this an annual event.
