I'm bringing this back to attention here. A Gates water pump used for only 14000 miles on an 07 Accord V6 started leaking, posted by a member at driveaccord.net . Evidence pictures here.
I'm still a firm believer Gates brand Timing Belts as they are the OE supplier for all of Honda's Timing belts (including the TL). Just avoid their cheap-o water pumps.
I know this thread is old asf...but...
Just because Gates might be the OE supplier doesn't mean their aftermarket belt is the same as the one sold at a Honda dealer.
The part labeled and sold at Honda dealers is likely a much better part for one reason or another.
Just a PSA.
That goes for any part on any car, really. There's no substitute for the genuine part in virtually any case.
