One more opinion-A few years back there was an article in Nines magazine about generic parts quality.My recollection of the conclusion was that the cheap pumps can and do fail catastrophically.The bearings come apart and yuo lose your coolant now.The OEM quality pumps usually fail at the seal and start leaking slowly. Also the cheap pumps can fail out of the box.I 've had this happen to me on my domestic vehicles.I've had two cheap pumps fail suddenly and another leak slowly out of the box.
