Just replaced the original water pump on my 1996 with a new Hepu kit. The new pump appeared identical to the old pump (metal propeller). I lost the seal behind the pulley, unfortunately it cost me a head gasket as well (original, 90 K miles). Can't really complain about a seal that lasted at least fifteen years, never saw the leak until after the dashboard gauge leaped.
Have heard many stories about recent Hepu pumps with plastic propellers failing on Vdubs and Audis; people have switched to Graf pumps on those cars.
