Why did we even invent this

Nope, you would put a magnetic runner in the water and the coils on the outer case.

Only if the case cracks.

Holy shit you are dumb.

Yeah because clearly in 20 years a plastic, electronic water pump won't give out due to constant heating and cooling or become fragile anyway.

I work at a shitbox euro garage and see this all the god damn time. BMW X series SUV's are the worst offenders because BMW became trash 1990 and onward. For being a typical boomer, Scotty Kilmer is right about electric water pumps. They're meant to fail, they will never be as reliable as a metal belt driven pump, you have to be a dumbfuck to buy a euro car for reliability.

What a stupid meme. I had to change the water pump in my Camry at 180k bc the bearing sounded like marbles
