Water pump OEM Toyota or Hepu

Ive reinstalled another new HEPU(made in germany) pump due to mileage. I don't think anything is wrong with the old one. When I cleaned the o-ring seal contact area on the block it was corroded right where it left an imprint.

I’m driving a 98 Toyota Camry and just changed the water pump at 300k(which includes changing the timing belt).

If you're worried, replace both the water pump and thermostat. I would use a Mahle, Facet, or Wahler thermostat, and either a Hepu or Graf water pump.

Toyota / Lexus hybrids are bulletproof if taken care of. My 2007 Toyota Prius was bulletproof. The only thing that went bad was water pump at 192000 miles.

It has a hepu water pump

GMB or Hepu pumps are generally good for 100k or more.\n\nThat leak is due to the donut like seal between the pump and the head.

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.

My water pump was leaking this Fall at 235k. New mechanic showed me the leaky pump and it was oem toyota.

Update. The replacement HEPU water pump is now leaking.. from the freeze plug…

Replacement HEPU water pump is now leaking… from the freeze plug.. gonna let it ride and try a different brand when I change the belt in 50K miles
