Does anyone think that I will run into trouble if I buy a non-acura Water Pump, Alternator Belt, and Power steering belt????

No, you should be fine. Keep in mind that you generally get what you pay for. The Acura parts come with a warranty.

The acura parts only come with a warranty if the mechanic purchases them. If you buy them and have them installed then there is no warranty. At least this is what I understand.

for something that you replace every 6+ years, I would at least go OEM with the waterpump. the belts may not even be that much more...

Does anyone know who makes the original equipment acura water pump?

I'm not sure exactly, but if i recall they supply most of Honda's parts.

The following ebay store has provided me w/ good honda and acura timing belts, water pump, tensioner parts. If not listed ask N V Thai for a quote. He's been able to get what ever I need so far. Right now I've asked for these parts for my 2.5TL timing belt change that's due shortly.

thanks - I had a conversation with the dealer on the pump they had for the car, got a look at it - honda stamped part, mfg by yamada. the part I brought in, made by Paraut/Atsugi looks much the same. they'll put it in, but no warranty, of course.

i got my belts and waterpump done with non oem parts. There was a 3 years/18,000 mile warranty for it. Depends on the mechanic.
