Watch out for "OAW" branded water pumps!


Recommended Posts

Had one of these fail at about 5k miles. Massive leakage from the weep hole. Customer paid no attention to the temp gauge and destroyed the motor - ran it without coolant down the freeway till it wouldn't run any more....

This was included in one of the Mizumoauto kits from ebay. The kits seem to be fine otherwise but these cheap pumps from Singapore are hit and miss it seems. If you buy their kit get it with the Aisin water pump.

Glad mine came with the Aisin pump, then!

 

EDIT: Whoa! I just read that website...it's TERRIBLE! I don't trust any part from a company that can't afford or is to cheap to get a translator that can speak English! I'm scared by that stuff...
