So far my HEPU WP holds up nicely 1 month/1K miles later. It is bone-dry, no leak at all anywhere.

As I mentioned before, the "brick" Volvo drivers love HEPU WP:

I am posting this in case anyone is debating between these:

1. BMW OEM probably as good as HEPU
2. Graf??? Ihave heard some laking at 25K or so
3. Geba, so many leak stories that I run away from Geba.

If anyone has any data comparing Brand A vs Brand B (BMW OEM, Laso, Graf, Geba, Hepu), I would be interested to know.
