Replace Water Pump?

Benesesso · 03-30-2006, 04:57 PM

Now that I have the front of my 1990 Turbo engine (~70k miles), should I replace the water pump with a rebuilt AutoZone pump?

No problems with the orig. pump. I'm just wondering if there has been a history of pump failures/leakage, and how good an A/Z rebuilt is compared with the stock one.

I had to replace my leaking water pump (common) in my 7m-GE motor.. Get a mechanic to check her out.

I'd order one from toyota, its like $80. I would do it for sure while its convenient so it doesn't leave you in a bind later...
