Since the original pump was strong and quiet I decided to reuse it as well and keep the new pump as a spare. I decided to let the perfectly working OE pump run its course.
I owned one, put 100k miles on it and never had a single issue with anything that wasn't caused by abuse. At that mileage you will want to listen to the timing chains as it may need new guides and tensioners.

Mine started leaking last night. Took it to the dealership this morning and just got the call that they installed a new water pump under a recall. No charge.
I want to clean my throttle body today. BUT how imperative is it that you re adapt the throttle body with vagcom. because i have read that it will re adapt itself. My throttle body inside has a nice black ring so i think its time to do this.
I have Euro Golf R headlights on my Canadian GTI with xenon lights. The headlights were almost plug and play except for some coding for the LED turn signal. But, the highbeams don't work.
Eventually it was deemed that the brake discs had become faulty, giving a vibration on braking and there was high speed vibration caused by unbalanced tyres. Front discs replaced, braking vibration gone.
There should be a lower category specifically for the Passat. worst. headlights. ever. The shame is that a big part of the problem is that they are simply aimed at the ground about 100' in front of the car.
Ugh, somehow these pads are even dustier than the stock pads on my STI. I didn't know that was possible.
