Owner reviews for water pump

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

have a pierburg water pump, it’s holding up pretty well.

Graf is good.

GMB or Hepu pumps are generally good for 100k or more.\n\nThat leak is due to the donut like seal between the pump and the head.

I bought one a couple weeks ago. It went right in and works perfectly so far. It's a really easy install too.

Replaced mine when it started leaking at 107,000km… man it’s annoying

I picked the pierburg for all aluminum casing and impeller. They were both about the same price last time I needed to get one. Note that the pierburg failed at not even 10k miles. I replaced with another pierburg chalking it up to bad luck. The only advantage I can think of with the pierburg is the fact that you can torque down the hoses that use clamps and not have to worry about cracking the housing. But in reality doubtful that is a risk. Also it won’t be in service long enough to get brittle enough to matter.

VW TSI water pump: garbage.

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

I put in a GMB in my '02 two years ago, and it's leaking already.
