Reviews of OEM Volkswagen water pump

You'll need to keep an eye on the coolant bottle level, the water pump has been known to leak and need replacement.

It’s a Vw water pump. It would have failed shortly after install anyway

Had a 2016 GTI and went through two water pumps before the car hit 90k miles. Both covered under the extended warranty VW has on them. They’re a known failure part at this point.

My mk7 water pump went out at 76k and will probably need to be done soon I’m at 135k now. I live in the heat of arizona too. It really gets tested here.

The water pumps are plastic. Heat and plastic don’t go well together. My MK6 has had at least 3 water pumps and sitting at 120k.

My 2012 GTI has 175,000 Kms and is on Water pump #4.

I have a 2013 GTI with 105k on my original water pump, no issues

Water pump has been replaced 5 times. Twice under warranty. Had I been smart I would’ve gone with an aftermarket metal pump.

2 water pumps (both under warranty) 3rd one it's on..so far so good. Those repairs cost me nothing.

Mine has also always had constant problems, I’ve spent so much money just replacing the water pump as well. I’ve also considered selling mine, because the cost of maintenance outweighs the fun of the car…
