Water pump GRAF or OEM Volkswagen

OEM Volkswagen Water pump

My original water pump lasted 115,000 miles. I saw the fluid levels subside over the years, but never actual signs of a leak. Eventually, the leak became obvious enough to diagnose.

Pros: lasted 115,000 miles
Cons: eventually started leaking
Mileage: 185074 km

GRAF Water pump

I personally replaced the water pump on my Tiguan with a Graf aluminum pump. The only issue I've had was the rubber o-ring on the temp sensor leaking. I replaced all the rubber seals with Rein branded ones and no more leaks.

Pros: aluminum pump, replaced rubber seals
Cons: o-ring on temp sensor leaking

Just wanted to follow up. Took it the dealer. Later that day, they diagnosed the water pump failure, got my green light for repair under CPO warranty (with $50 deductible), and by the end of the same day the car was treated to a new thermostat/water pump. They recycled the coolant they drained and topped it off - a flush would have been extra. Service advisor said they pressure tested everything when I asked about the cap and everything passed. Let's hope this holds up!

Pros: new water pump installed
Cons: coolant recycled

I have a Tiguan 2015. I tend to get a waterpump problem. At first, I've tried to fix it at another workshop. Cost me $700+ with only 3 months warranty and in less than a year, the waterpump broke again. Tried fixing at the agent, they gave me $800+ with 1 year warranty and I was also able to claim it after 1 year & 2 months.

Pros: able to claim warranty
Cons: waterpump problem

i noticed that my coolant was a tiny bit low in early October. Well, when I took it in last Tuesday, November 24th, turns out that I needed a new water pump, and because there was a 5 year, 60,000 mile warranty, and 5 years had just passed, i had to pay ~$700 to have it fixed. so far so good after that, but I am going to write VWOA about it, because I was literally only about two weeks out of the 5 year warranty expiration.

Pros: fixed, working well
Cons: coolant low, expensive repair
Mileage: 78213 km

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.

Cons: fully failed, slow coolant leak
Vehicle: Volkswagen
