Water pump Gates or Hepu

The two timing belts I've done the water pump have been that design.

It was a while ago, but I think I used a HEPU pump when I did mine.

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

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

Every one I've ever gotten from GAP has been HEPU. The one in my GLI was really noisy for almost a year after installation. The other two in my GTIs never gave me any problems.

Installed this GATES water pump 5k miles ago…. Pully seems wobbly as fuck, safe to assume it’s already going out? gonna have to find a better brand

I had a gates kit on my Subaru and the water pump failed and leaked after less than 1000 miles.

The water pumps i’ve seen leak a few times on the v6 hondas.

Gates is crap. Bought their water pump and it failed less than a year and leaked the whole time.

Mine broke in less than 500 miles and their replacement broke too (which I paid for till I returned them the faulty one back) in less than 500 miles on an Audi A1. Now they have my money for 2 water pumps and I paid for labour costs of replacing twice, and waiting for a refund decision for more than a month. AVOID!!!
