Water pump Gates or Saleri

I usually end up with Gates or AC Delco.

Can't go wrong with a Gates pump.

Saleri is what I put in. No issues about a year in.

Had gates on my 06. PITA to replace but never failed, good gasket, ok bearing.

We used to install gates pump and belt kits, but saw too many leaking water pumps well before they were due for another belt. Switched to aisin kits and haven't had a problem.

Their water pump especially is garbage.

I use the aisin kit or oem honda. I’ve had the tensioners in the dayco kits fail, and the water pumps in the gates kits fail

Mines literally the same story as yours. It’s leaking out the weephole after about a month, less than 1500kms install. Their warranty claim procedure looks as complicated as it can get too

It’s a garbage unit, mine started to weep out from the hole after less than 1500kms. Warranty claim seems extra complicated to deter people from using it too

Gates waterpump broke in 2, the base is still mated to the block with all the bolts in-tact
