There are two ways a water pump can go kaput...seal & mechanical failure. The former is most common. We've all experienced a leaking shaft seal, but the bearings can give up (wobbly or hard to turn shaft) & the impeller can fall off (clanking noise) too. The last two mainly afflict cheapo brands.
One brand you guys didn't mention is GMB, a Japanese make. I know some say this IS a cheapo brand & that it has a stamped impeller...but neither is true. You'll be impressed with the obvious quality of this pump & it has a cast impeller just like Hepu. It is "cheap" though & can be had for a platry $23 thru europartsdirect. Site favorite eEuroparts gets $37 for the same item. That's a HUGE discrepancy, though they will usually price match...if not the other place deserves your business (shipping is much slower however).
