Owner reviews for water pump

This time the shop foreman went through the car soup to nuts again, replaced a fuel rail connector, and the water pump.

I just had the alternator (bearing went bad) and water pump changed (coolant leaking through the weep hole). Still the original block.

2015 B9 A4 3.0TDI. Almost at 200k. Original waterpump and no issue in sight.

It has a hepu water pump

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

I replaced my water pump at about 205K miles. I had seen someone on e90post mentioning he saw fault codes before his pump failed. I decided I could wait if I kept a close eye. At about 205K miles was when I saw a fault code via ISTA/D. It mentioned something about "...water pump speed deviation..."

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

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

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…

I’m on my 2nd water pump, and it is starting to leak. I still need a third water pump.
