Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the gasket included with the WP0260?
Yes, the unit typically comes with the necessary gasket required for a proper installation.
Can I use this on a 2009 Mitsubishi L200?
No, this specific part number is designed for models between 2010 and 2015. Always verify your specific model year.
How often should a water pump be replaced?
While there is no fixed interval, it is common practice to replace the water pump whenever the timing belt or serpentine belt is serviced.
Does this pump work with electric fans?
The pump is belt-driven and operates regardless of the fan type (mechanical or electric); it functions independently of the cooling fan setup.
What coolant should I use with this pump?
Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation for the specific type of coolant (e.g., long-life OAT or HOAT) to prevent internal corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Coolant leaking from the weep hole
A small amount of weeping can be normal during break-in, but constant leaking indicates a failed internal seal; the unit must be replaced.
Engine overheating shortly after installation
Ensure that the cooling system was properly bled of air; air locks in the system can prevent coolant flow.
Excessive noise from the water pump area
Check that the v-ribbed belt tensioner is set correctly and the pulley is aligned; misaligned belts can cause bearing stress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, verify that the `WP0260` part number matches your vehicle's VIN or engine specifications. This pump is strictly for Mitsubishi L200/Triton models produced between 2010 and 2015 that utilize v-ribbed pulley setups.
- Drain the coolant: Ensure the engine is cool before draining the system into a suitable container.
- Remove the belt: Release tension on the v-ribbed belt and remove it from the pump pulley.
- Extraction: Unbolt the existing pump, ensuring all old gasket material is scraped off the mating surface.
- Installation: Install the new Gates unit using the provided or recommended gasket, torquing bolts to manufacturer specifications.
- Refill: Use the recommended coolant mixture and bleed the system of air pockets to prevent cavitation.
Regular maintenance involves checking the pulley for excessive play and inspecting the area around the weep hole for signs of early seal failure.
