Water pump Gates or AISIN

I bought one a couple weeks ago. It went right in and works perfectly so far. It's a really easy install too.

Used Aisin for my 2000lx.

We used an Aisin water pump. We have had no problems with this water pump as of 11k miles on the engine rebuild now.

Get a Gates water pump. Good quality part for a good price.

I had my timing belt done by not a Volvo specialist specifically, but a “European brand” mechanic. They used an Aisin pump / Gates belt kit and life is good.

There’s a really good kit that come with gates timing belt, tensioner, idler, Aisin water pump, Toyota cam and crank seals and a serpentine belt for $350 I used it and everything has worked perfectly

I have seen early failure with the Gates water pump and wont use them.

Don't use Gates water pumps.

But do NOT use gates water pumps, they are junk.

A gates timing belt kit for a Honda will have OE parts as Gates is a OE supplier for Honda. Except for the water pump./ Gates water pump are garbage so NEVER use a gates water pump if its driven by the timing belt.
