I ordered / received a SAAB branded water pump just in the last month. I would like to never do this job again on a 2005 ARC with 125K miles on the original pump - which is why I pad double the price of a new Hepu.
Airtex is a parts consolidator and re-labeler, and the bronze impeller and 1-2-3-4 index numbers on the shaft end look identical to my SAAB branded part also made in Spain. If the bearing and packing are nice and snug, and if the weld on the pulley is neat and clean then I would suspect that this came off the same line that made the pump that I have not yet installed. I have had a few Airtex parts over time, some very good, and some not.
It would be nice if we always knew that paying more meant better quality, or that the quality was constant and we only had to shop for price . . . sigh !
