Water pump OEM FORD or Pierburg

Get a pierburg if you can for the water pump. They’re more OEM than Mehle is for water pumps even though both are OE manufacturers.

Pierberg all aluminium has been good in mine.

Been on my Pierburg full metal one a few years now, no complaints

Pierburg ONLY for water pump, no other brand is good.

I had a 2017 GT… here are common issues that I also ended up having:

Water pump went out at 60k

AC started to struggle, especially on hot days, around 70k miles

I kind'a have some project and I need to use Pierburg CWA50, all I got in my country is this pump from benz (**A0005001986**), is it same model as Pierburg CWA50? Because the head pump is same but the connector is different (facing upwards). I tried to find specs from this model, the result is empty, can't find any clue about flow rate. I do have original code from Pierburg, which is **7.04933.56.0**, but can't find flow rate either.

Ford 3.5L water pump with a plastic gear won't last 70,000!

Honestly, personally I wouldn't get a Pierburg. Got one, the all aluminum one and it failed right away, first day of driving. It was hard to push in the plug as well. And they are made in China these days, cheaply made it seems.

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
