Water Pump, Do it myself or pay someone? - Toyota Yaris Forums

My 1st replacement was a genuine OEM toyota pump.. 1st pump that came with new car lasted around 38k.. this pump never leaked but the shaft began to wobble and it was making all kinds of noise.

The 2nd OEM pump lasted till 73k.. So I am figuring that the oem pump is good for only about 35k+ miles. The last pump, I got at autozone for 1/2 the oem price. The gasket that comes with it was a POS.. just a piece of paper. However, that pump leaked from the get go. They gave me a replacement of the same type and that one is not leaking.

BMG is the maker if the pump I think.. Maybe I have the letters mixed up..

I may be mentioned that the belt was too tight causing the pump to fail prematurely. I can assure you that it was not the case.
