Water pump Hepu or OEM Volkswagen

OEM Volkswagen Water pump

With these cars, it\u2019s less so staying on top of the regular service items from the dealer - and more so staying educated on all the little unspoken chickenshit maintenance items that VW doesn\u2019t outwardly talk about.

Cons: unspoken maintenance items
Vehicle: Volkswagen

OEM Volkswagen Water pump

I actually just changed the pump on my 2018. With the pump/thermostat assembly, and a collection of specific tools, it cost me ~$900. I was quoted 2k by a dealer so I saved a good chunk of change. All-in-all the job is straightforward, save plenty of headache with disconnecting hoses and wire clips.

Pros: straightforward job
Cons: disconnecting hoses, wire clips

My 17 S is sitting at 108k. Only issues I\u2019ve had outside of normal maintenance has been a water pump at 102k and cam magnets at 103k. It\u2019s been the model of reliability and its nearly still as tight as it was when new.

Pros: model of reliability
Cons: water pump, cam magnets
