For a water pump that is driven off of the timing belt on an interference engine, the correct answer to that should go something like this:

"Hopefully, not before it has been replaced."

That's a big load of BS to be marked as such, and not be the truth. Looks like they get bombarded with the renditons, the facsimiles, or whatever you prefer to call them, just like the US does. Or does the stuff that ends up here not even touch German soil?
