Gates 00-05 Subaru Outback / 90-05 Legacy / 93-05 Impreza Water Pump

When you're tackling a cooling system overhaul on your Subaru, replacing the water pump is a critical step. This Gates water pump is built to keep your engine running at the right temperature, preventing overheating and potential damage. It's designed to fit a range of popular Subaru models, including the Legacy, Impreza, and Outback, making it a solid choice for many DIYers and mechanics.

Gates has a reputation for making well-built cooling system components, and this water pump is no exception. It features a robust impeller design that moves coolant efficiently throughout your engine block and radiator. The housing is made from durable materials to resist corrosion and leaks, ensuring it holds up over time. Installing a new water pump often goes hand-in-hand with replacing your timing belt, as many of these Subaru engines require the timing belt to be removed to access the water pump. It's a good idea to check your service manual for the recommended replacement interval and consider replacing other worn cooling system parts like hoses and the thermostat at the same time.
