PSA!!! Don't buy Gates Water Pumps

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.

FYI
I used my Honda OEM water pump for over 220,000k miles. Basically 1 water pump for 2 T belts... 03 Accord 3.0L.
Had a Continental water pump (T belt kit) that started leaking at around 50k miles... 2g TL.

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.
