Over the past few years, here on the forums, i have heard a few different opinions on the different water pumps available to us.
So lets talk about every thing you know about water pumps.

How many are there 2, ...3, ...4 pumps maybe.
good bearings, .... bad bearings
good impellers, ... bad impellers

what are the stats?

Thanks for your help

there are made in China (or somewhere cheap) knockoffs.

there are at least 2 if not 3 versions from Laso

then theres the super expensive Porsche unit

I just installed a new Laso last winter on the GTS, the latest version with improved bearings and plastic impeller.....fit and functions perfect.

Phone Roger, he'll get you all set :)

I've replace the pump 2 times for past 13 yrs using Laso. Although I wonder how long these units really last. I replace the pump when I do the belts even if they are not broken. I still have one the old Laso in a box. It makes me wonder if it still a good unit to use.
