Water pump AISIN or OEM Volkswagen

I use the same exact part that you bought. On mine I could see where they removed the word Lexus or Toyota from the mold. It's the same part as OEM. I replaced the water pump myself and it wasn't too bad but some of the bolts are difficult to get a socket on.

I used binder clips to hold the timing belt on the driver side cam gears instead of purchasing the tool. Purchased OEM thermostat from dealership and Aisin water pump / timing belt kit from RockAuto. First time doing one, was easier than I thought it was going to be.

If yours is the later style timing kit, get the Aisin kit from Rock. That kit is ALL OE supplier, including an Aisin water pump.

Just wanted to update the community that it took me about 1.5 hours with me taking things slow to change the water pump on my Kentucky made 2018 Camry SE with 165 miles. I changed the water pump with an Aisin model with a new seal as well as drained and refilled the coolant. From what I understand there is a tsb about a false positive water pump error but in my case it was a part failure. After replacement the check engine code went away on its own immediately on first start.

My 2019 Tiguan SE 4motion with about 20,000 miles has been telling me to add coolant every few weeks. Today I dropped the car off at my local VW dealership stating I had a possible coolant leak. Just got a call from the service advisor saying hey will need to keep the car overnight bc they have to replace the waterpump!

The water pump on my 2017 mk7 lasted nearly 100k miles before crapping out on me. :( Quite a pricey repair job, that was.

VW TSI water pump: garbage.

That is indeed a common failure item on the 2 liter turbo engine. One of my VWs went out @ 70k miles.

I had a coolant leak in august. They replaced my water pump under warranty. Brought my car in last week and guess what another freaking leak. They tried to charge me this time but are now fixing it under parts warranty.

Mine is a 2019 (abiet a GTI) and it's on its 3rd water pump
