Water pump AISIN or OEM Volkswagen

When I do side jobs I use an aisin branded water pump and timing belt tensioner. The aisin kit is top notch.

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

The inverter water pump is a fairly common failure on the second gen Prius. The pump runs anytime the car is on, and it just wears out.

It was the water pump

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

VW water pumps have been faulty for decades with no correction for them in site, and carbon buildup will happen *no matter what.*

After 2 water pumps... I sold my MK6. Thankfully it was all under warranty but having to leave my car at the dealer every other month cost me just as much in time.

my 2019 Golf R had to have it replaced at 21k miles.

I have to literally remove the nose of my B5 1.8T Passat to get at my water pump. Second one in 110,000 miles.

I’m on #4, but luckily all were replaced under warranty. Most recent was in 2019 when supposedly they had finally found and fixed the issue (not sure what ended up being the cause)

One of them hadn’t even failed yet, and they replaced it under recall since a new revision had come out
