Reviews of GRAF water pump

GRAF makes this particular pump without the magnetic impeller, and it’s the best option.

Graf is good. They are an OEM (original equipment manufacturer)

Yeah... That Graf pump did not work out... Had to remove Graf pump and get the proper pump from local VW dealer.

I run a Graf pump myself for about 2 months now and it's working fine so far.

I had a Graf pump as well and it blew up less than a year later, literally the shaft blew off while I was in traffic.

I replaced the water pump in 3/2021. By 2/2022, it started leaking, so I replaced it under warranty. It leaked again in 1/2023, leading to a 3rd replacement. Now, one month in, the new pump is already leaking, this is driving me insane. This will be my 4th replacement in the last 3 yrs! These are GRAF PUMPS.

In my case the leaking was from the plastic water pump housing which is a common fault for this engine. I replaced the plastic water pump with GRAF PA1359, which is metal housing instead of the OEM plastic one.

I've run the plastic pump on 2 different cars for over 100k no issue, in fact I only changed one because the thermostat went bad and the water pump's reputation. I do have the metal Graf pump now, I like it so far.

I got the graf as well, def better than what the previous owner used

Graf is fine, I've put a bunch of them in 240s over the years, none have failed yet.
