GeneralDisorder Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 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.... http://www.olympiaautoparts.com/products.html 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.

SchwarzeEwigkt Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) 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... Edited May 1, 2012 by SchwarzeEwigkt Mother of God...

GeneralDisorder Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yes the Aisin pumps are great. They are the OEM for Toyota and some other's - and they may be the OEM for Subaru on the newer stuff. NPW is my second choice - that's short for Nissan Pump Manufacturing. They are also Japanese pumps and of excellent quality. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 OAW even sounds like a cheesy name. :-p TRW sounds like a cheesy name too but they make OE parts for so many cars it'll make your head spin. Thanks for the tip GD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Whale Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Am I right in assuming this to be the cheapest Mizumo kit option? I installed a Mizumo kit with a GMB water pump a couple of months ago; that pump appeared to be well made. Nothing leaks so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
