My mechanic said to find a cheaper version of the Subaru OEM water pump, I should track down the original manufacturer and just buy their part (e.g., without the Subaru logo on it). Does anybody know what company manufactured the original Subaru water pump for 2001 Subaru Legacy? I read on the Subaru Forester forum that it was Paraut, but then of course, that was shot down by another forum user, so I don't know what to think! Can anyone confirm 100%?
