Water pump AISIN or Saleri

I got a saleri installation was very easy and it spun nice.

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.

Use a good pump like a Aisin, cause you don’t want to do it again in a year.

100% oem or Aisin, I bought a knock off on amazon and it failed in 2 months.

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