Water pump OEM FORD or OEM Toyota

I wish I knew myself before my overheating probs with the failed first gen water pumps from toyota. Once the new pump was in the engine would work really well when it comes to heating and cooling.

My original lasted 18 years / 249k miles. The replacement one has been in place for almost 2 years / 22k miles.

My 99 V6 just rolled 316k, am looking into my 2nd timing belt/water pump DIY

Engine water pump is leaking coolant. The pulley and drive belt are slinging the coolant onto other components. Highly recommend to replace with factory parts.

Mine started going out at ~165k in 2023. 05 Prius. I mostly drive less 5miles at a shot, and it would toss a code if driven much more than that and it was hot

In the 11000 or so km i have driven the vehicle i have already had 1) Water pump replacement, 2) Front engine cover slow leak ( awaiting parts on backorder) & 2 inspections covered under warranty.

they slapped the fucking water pump behind the timing cover ?? Just go German engineering and make an electric water pump so you aren’t doing a chain service to do a water pump.

the only thing that’s had any problems is a water pump

Here’s my experience with the 2019 for what it’s worth:

Bought a 2019 with 5.0, xlt with 20k miles for $41k in Aug 2022.

-Water pump and vct’s replaced at 50k miles.

-New engine at 98k miles due to oil consumption (2 dealerships and 4 months later). Replaced in Aug of 2024

-102k miles the trans started acting funny, fully grenading at 112k miles. Replaced Feb of 2025

-126k miles and the transmission cooler fails midway through a 3hour trip with the pop up camper and family in tow.

The water pump was defective as well upon diagnostic. Leak in coolant as well. 2022 with 20k miles.
