Water pump GMB or OEM Volkswagen

Yeah I bought the water pump assembly from the dealer that came with the thermostat installed.

I have VW 2.0T in my GTI, it has been trouble free for 35k miles so far. Not sure how much different is Audi 2.0T from VW 2.0T, but leaking water pumps / thermostat housings are weak spots on all of them and you can almost be sure on replacing those at some point.

levels dropped and signs of leakage. Dealer verified that water pump was leaking and replaced under warranty.

I had my water pump and thermostat replaced recently and they did remove the intake manifold and replaced the gasket in order to gain access to the water pump assy.

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.

The water pump on our 2019 GTI fully failed a couple of months ago (turns out what I've been smelling since we got the car new was likely a very slow drip of coolant leaking). Well within warranty, well under the mileage.

They replaced the water pump after it failed around 35k on my 2017 alltrack.

Failed on my 2016 after 1 year and 17K.

Mine failed in my 2015 Golf after 11,000km.
