Why is this water pump so cheap?

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.
