Types of Prius Water Pumps

Types of Prius Water Pumps

The Toyota Prius is a mid-sized sedan that is available as a hybrid or standard vehicle. The water pumps, which move coolant from the radiator to the engine, come in a variety of designs from different manufacturers. The type of water pump is directly dependent upon the year and model of the Prius, and whether or not it is a hybrid.

GMB

    The GMB Prius water pump model is designed to fit 2007-2009, 4-cylinder Prius Touring 1.5 liter and the 2001-2009 Prius base 1.5 liter models. The hub is triangular and the housing has a five-point, star-shaped design for installment.

A1 Cardone

    The A1 Cardone model is compatible with all Prius models from 2001-2009. The hub and the housing directly beneath the hub are circular. The housing expands into a triangular shape on one side. The A1 Cardone also comes without the extended triangular base for a circular housing unit.

Beck Arnley

    Beck Arnley is suitable for the 2001-2005 Prius 4 cylinder, 1.5 liter model. The hub is triangular, while the housing is circular. With an offset, five-point star housing nut for installment, the Beck Arnley comes with a removable gasket that fits with the water pump.

Airtex

    The Airtex water pump is made to fit with all 2007 Prius Touring engines, as well as all 2006-2007 Prius base models. In addition, the Airtex is compatible with the 2001-2009 4 cylinder, 1.5 liter base models and the 2008-2009 Touring 4 cylinder, 1.5 liter models. Airtex has a circular hub while the housing is circular with an offset triangular piece to one side.

ACDelco

    The ACDelco water pump is made for all Prius Touring engines from 2007-2009, all base engines from 2006-2009, and 4 cylinder, 1.5 liter base models from 2001-2005. The hub is circular, but with a larger diameter than most water pump models. The housing unit is comprised of an offset five-point nut system with evenly spaced grooves connecting it to the hub.

NPW and Aisin

    Both the NPW and the Aisin water pump models are made to fit with all Prius models from 2001-2009. Both pumps are very close in design the ACDelco design, with a circular hub and a five-point housing unit.
