Two years ago when our car had 100K miles and we were replacing the timing belt we got a new water pump from Swedish Engineering and had it installed. Yesterday after parking in a lot and doing some shopping we returned to the car with a puddle of coolant underneath and an obvious opening around the water pump.

Does Swedish Engineering sell actual Volvo branded parts? Since the orignal lasted 10 years and 100K miles and was only replaced as preventative maintenance, and the new one lasted 2 years and 25K miles I don't want to go the same route again. If the replacement was not Volvo, I will go with a Volvo pump given the excellent performance of the original. If the replacement was a Volvo part, then I will go with an aftermarket under the assumption that the Volvo part is not what is used to be. Or maybe it was just bad luck and either route will be fine.
