    Hello from Sweden!

    I own a gen. 3 Prius, and I have a question about the water pump.
    What I try to find out if there are any milage/age that it's recommended to change it, or should we just wait till it break?
    Here in Sweden it seems like the later, wait till it breaks, but then a new question comes to my mind, what milage could I expect it to last? Miles or km is OK:)

    I swapped the pump in our old 2010 around 175k miles;).

    I did note a bit more resistance in the pump than the new replacement one:cool:.

    So I’d say around 180k miles or 300,000 km would be appropriate (y).

    Thanks!

    Then I shouldn't have to worry yet:) About 190000 km on my meter(y)
