OE 6172010501 — Water Pump Housing for Hyundai / Kia

The Related OE References table above lists the alternates we see most often in trade inquiries. Cross-references work because the engineering envelope is shared across the cooling system family — always confirm dimensions and connector layout before you swap.

OEM means the part was produced for the vehicle maker's assembly line; aftermarket means it is made independently to the same engineering drawing. For a water pump housing the practical gap is usually tooling age and packaging rather than fit, provided the tolerance class matches.

Four variables explain most of the spread: material grade, whether the goods are new production or clearance stock, packing format, and whether the quote is ex-works or landed. Ask for the material certificate alongside the price — that is what makes a comparison like-for-like.

Export packing is a neutral carton with inner protection; custom labels, barcodes and box specifications are available for volume orders. Shipments move FOB Guangzhou or Shenzhen, with CIF and DDP terms negotiable.

Report it with the order number and packing-list line plus photographs. Because every carton is photographed before loading, we can trace the batch immediately and settle the claim against the inspection record instead of arguing from memory.

Position depends on the platform. On most Hyundai / Kia applications the water pump housing sits on the cooling system assembly and can be reached from the engine bay or the underbody without removing the dashboard. Torque figures and disassembly order are given in the workshop manual for each model.
