Product review (1 stars): Incomplete, and failed less than a year later
I ordered this water pump in December 2010 for my sebring jxi 2.5L.  Great price, but you get what you pay for.  When I received it, I realized only half the water pump was provided.  The shipment included metal gaskets and a new o-ring, but only the impeller half of the pump.  I had to re-use the inside half of the pump housing off my old one.  Granted, gaskets were provided to put the two halves together, but still, a whole pump would have been preferred.  If that had been the end of it, I would have given this 3-4 stars, based on price alone.  But here it is Sept. of 2011, 9 months later, and I'm replacing the pump again.  The sebring developed a whine about a month ago, and started overheating last week.  I considered contacting the seller, but I needed the car fixed now, not after waiting for emailed correspondence and shipping.  At least I've had some practice now, I replaced the pump with an Aisin pump from Merles automotive supply (Parts +Plus) over a saturday.  It cost me 96.99 before tax, but the car immediately sounded way better when I fired her back up.  I idled her, drove her on the freeway, and idled again.  No longer overheating at all, and the car ran hot and boiled before with a casual 2 mile surface street drive at night.  This might have been a fluke, maybe I just got a bad part.  For the price, and a brand name like Bosch, this seems like a good deal, but the headache of changing a pump out twice definately overrides the savings, even if you can get the seller to provide a free replacement...
