Water pump Gates or OEM Toyota

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

I have had very good experiences with the NEW Gates pumps and they make a replacement tube as well. I have installed them in 17 4.0 engines over the last 4 years and had no comeback failures.

Had a friend rebuild his 22RE, guy ordered his parts from eBay. Parts to replace which I believe is a must, water pump, t-stat, oil pump, timing chain and tensioner.

That looks like the water pump but I can be wrong. Also, there is no dipstick for the transmission anymore. Depending on the engine, there is a drain bolt on the side of the transmission on the driver side I believe near the drivetrain.

How many miles do you have? Its probably time to change the water pump if it's making noise and if it is, it needs to be replaced before it causes a whole world of hurt to your wallet.

Installed a Gates water pump on a Toyota Rav4 with a V6. Needed it now and couldn't wait for an OEM or Aisin one from Rockauto. I should have waited because this pump didn't last two months before pissing coolant.

Gates water pumps failed on both my friend's Toyota Echo and my Sienna, his after under a year and mine in about 2 years. Less than 3,000 miles on my Sienna since pump was changed. Ugh. The labor cost, of course, is the bee-atch, more than the pump cost, of course.

I bought a Gates water pump off Amazon thinking I could go with a name I trust. Impeller grenaded after 5 months and less than 6k driven.

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.
