Owner reviews for water pump

Graf & Hepu brand water pumps are both metal impeller high quality oem suppliers

Replaced with an Aisin and no complaints

Only thing I have had to fix on it was the water pump. It started leaking at 181k miles.

For me, the Golf is one of the best all-around vehicles on the market today, offering a very reasonable price point for its capabilities. I have taken my Rs to the track one day and then embarked on a 4,000 km road trip the next. I put over 100,000km on my first R (Mk7) in under a year. It saw the drag strip every Tuesday, AutoX events every Wednesday and Saturday, and HPDEs once a month. The only maintenance issues I had were a water pump replacement at 110,000km and a faulty driver's side window switch at 40,000km. Outside of that, the car didn\u2019t miss a beat.

He found the water pump was leaking. It was replaced.

I had a 2012 VW CC EA888 that went through 3 water pumps in 10K miles. The latter two covered under the 1st’s repair warranty. The repair shop on the third one went with a non-OEM metal water pump instead of the OEM plastic variety. I paid the difference which was I think about $80 and that pump held.

Just happened on my rs6 a few months ago. Dealership even had the part in stock because this is common enough. 2 days in the shop. Had to have the car towed. Engine temp would climb evey time I hit the gas.

I had my issues with the 2nd gen (water pump failure)

I've had 2 of these die in less than 1 year. Junk!

Ford 3.5L water pump with a plastic gear won't last 70,000!
