Product Details
Gates 44048 is a timing belt driven engine water pump for 1993-1995 Acura Legend models. The Gates Water Pump (Standard) line focuses on OE-quality fit and consistent operation, with premium alloy construction and factory-style testing of seals, bearings, and leakage before release. This part cross-references Airtex AW9288 and GMB 135-1360 for the same application.
Common Issues This Part Can Address
- Coolant leakage from a worn pump seal or casting
- Overheating caused by reduced coolant circulation
- Noise from failing pump bearings
- Service replacement during timing belt maintenance
- Poor pump performance on reverse rotation applications
Installation Notes
Install on the specified timing belt driven application only. Verify reverse rotation orientation, pulley alignment, and seal surface condition before assembly. Because this pump is used on interference engine applications in the Acura Legend fitment, timing system service should be handled carefully and set to factory specifications.
Quality Assurance
Gates manufactures this water pump with premium alloy materials and performs functional testing of seals and bearings, along with leakage testing of the casting and assembled unit, to support consistent service performance.
