Product Details

Gates Water Pump (Standard) part number 41040 is engineered for vehicles that use a timing belt driven pump. The cast aluminum housing and cast iron impeller support stable coolant circulation, while the standard rotation design matches the original application. This pump is built for 1988-1995 Honda Civic, 1993-1995 Honda Civic del Sol, and 1988-1991 Honda CRX models with interference engine timing belt service requirements. Gates also verifies each pump through seal, bearing, and leakage testing to help ensure consistent operation. This part cross-references Airtex AW9130 and Beck/Arnley 131-2050 for the same application.

What This Water Pump Helps Address

• Coolant circulation loss from a worn or leaking pump
• Overheating caused by reduced water pump performance
• Noise or bearing wear from an aging timing belt driven pump
• Leakage at the pump casting or seal area
• Service issues during timing belt replacement on Honda Civic, Civic del Sol, and CRX models

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm timing belt driven fitment before installation. This pump does not include a thermostat, thermostat housing, back housing, or fan clutch. The pulley is included, and the pump is intended for standard rotation applications. For best results, inspect the timing belt system, coolant passages, and sealing surfaces during service on Honda Civic, Civic del Sol, and CRX vehicles.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this water pump with premium alloy materials and tests each unit for seal and bearing function as well as leakage integrity. The result is an OE-quality fit for the specified applications.
