Motaquip Water Pump H22

Is it up to the job?

Probably because it's cheaply made, a lot of the aftermarket pumps have cast impellers which are not as efficient and probably don't last as long either.

It is supposedly OEM quality. :?

That's what they all say, but it'll be well beyond the warranty before you'd find out.

I thought it might be a listing error. Cos a brand new motaquip water pump for £12 delivered seems a little unreal. :|

I had a replacement fitted to my 3g b20 a7 just before my rad went u/s , it was 40 quid from blueline not had long enough on the road to assess its suitability, however, I still have the u/s o.e. Honda pump for reference, the seal went due to the length of time my vehicle was off the road.

If you mean Tegiwa Imports, they don't appear to have a water pump for H22 on their website.
