Would there be any difference in quality (longevity, etc) between a Toyota original pump, and a non-OEM one ?
|

Possibly, but most likely no. Can you even buy a new OEM Toyota water-pump?. I just changed the water-pump on my BMW and the main dealer only had rebuilt ones to sell.
|
Yeah, funny that isn't it? Vauxhall sell service exchange pumps......nothing new!
Must be all to do with recyling etc etc
Still, a recon pump is no problem these days....often as good as a new one.

alot of aftermarket pumps are sourced from OEM manufacturers now...

Bought a waterpump for a Honda Legend V6 - I think I got it from Partco or BB (can't remember) - anyway, it was dead cheap and absolutely identical to the factory orignal I took off, right down to the Japanese manfrs name stamped on it.

BIG price difference, anyway !

have quoted me about £38, instead of literally DOUBLE that from my local Toyota dealer ! And they tell me it is the same unit Toyota use !
