Went with Meyle 313 011 4300 pump, came in an original Meyle Products Germany box with a TINY Meyle "Made in PR of China" sticker on the box. When the hell did Meyle start having these made in China?
Would not have bought had I known it was made in China! |
Above from 5-7-14.
Noticed a small coolant leak last week, pulled the lower cover and found it's coming from the coolant pump seal.
This China made Meyle "Germany" pump lasted 1 year and a few days!!!
Well done Meyle, make it JUST good enough to get out of 1 yr replacement warranty.
