Genuine Honda 19200-RDV-J01 Water Pump

This is a genuine Honda water pump. It's perfect. I put the water pump, timing belt, Tensioner, Tensioner Idler, Idler, and spark plugs into my 2014 Accord EX-L V6. Everything went on well with no issues. Take your time and watch some videos and it will all go fine. It's a long project. Also, there is some Honda-specific coolant that you should purchase ahead of time. Bring a good set of tools, there's not much room. Most bolts are 10, 14, 17 and 19 millimeters. The project will take you all day if you are not a professional. One other word of advice. Removing of the crank bolt is required. There is a specialized impact socket designed specifically to remove that bolt. I highly recommend acquiring that socket. It will save you a lot of time and trouble. It is sold here on amazon.

This Honda V6 OEM part fixed my coolant leak. Well, actually the OEM gasket did the trick. I've never had issues with AISIN parts for Honda V6 timing belt kits in the past, but the WP gasket with the kit was not up to the task and resulted in a leak not long after I completed the job. This OEM WP kit did the trick!

The aftermarket versions of this water pump look like they were chiseled out of melted beer cans by five year olds vs. this pump that is aerospace quality. Considering the amount of labor it takes to get to this water pump, the cost of a failure, and the obvious difference in quality; the only choice is OEM.

I had my old water pump changed because my tensioner and timing belt was also changed so that the mechanic only needed to go in my engine one shot. I am very happy about this move.

This is a real Honda part and it works great!

Part arrived damaged and unusable, one of the pump blades is completely smashed down and is rubbing into the water pump casting each time you turn it. I’ve ordered a replacement and am hoping the new one is in better condition. Will update comment when new part arrives

I can definitively state that in comparison to other aftermarket products, the build quality and fitment has no match. You can try to save a few dollars and I understand that it's not easy trying to make repairs on a tight budget, but this is one of those parts that you don't want to cut yourself short on.

Item arrived in a paper bag, which was torn open with the impeller exposed and damaged. The shipper should use a box in the future. It was an OEM part, as far as I could tell, but not as pictured in a blister pack.
