Product Details

The Gates Water Pump (Standard) line focuses on replacement pumps built for consistent operation and OE-quality fit. Part number 41009 is manufactured with premium alloy materials and is individually tested for seal and bearing function as well as leakage at both the casting and assembled pump level. For drivers servicing a Ford Tempo or Mercury Topaz cooling system, this water pump provides a direct replacement solution for standard accessory-belt-driven applications.

This part cross-references Airtex AW4022 and Dayco DP1045 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Coolant leakage from the water pump housing or seal area

Installation Notes

Verify engine configuration and belt drive layout before installation. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly, inspect the gasket surfaces, and replace coolant after installation. Confirm proper belt alignment and check for leaks after the system is filled and bled.

Quality Assurance

Gates tests each new water pump for seal and bearing function and performs leakage testing on both the casting and the assembled unit to support reliable cooling system service.
