No problems at all. Thought everyone might want to know about this part before buying an OEM. It is made in china which makes me hesitant but most failures I have seen is the plastic part cracking due to age or oil has leaked onto the plastic parts and due to heat and vibration tend to crack. Worth a shot thats for sure.

This looks like a great option. There is a thread in the tuning sub forum about this pump and one guy has installed it. Someone did comment that the housing cracking is less of an issue than the internals failing.

Would be interesting to see if the internals are upgraded from plastic to metal as well, and also if the quality of the pump drive mechanism is any better.
