Water pump Hepu or OEM Volkswagen

Mine started leaking last night. Took it to the dealership this morning and just got the call that they installed a new water pump under a recall. No charge.

Hepu--the bomb,99% reliability,MADE IN GERMANY.

Graf and Hepu make 12v metal impeller pumps, direct fit no mods.

My water pump was replaced, I was given a loaner and some financial compensation ($599.00) towards the auto loan.

Every one I've ever gotten from GAP has been HEPU. The one in my GLI was really noisy for almost a year after installation. The other two in my GTIs never gave me any problems.

I have this problem. I have been hearing the noise on and off for about 6 months. It only lasts for a few seconds and usually happens at lights or when idling before I turn it off. It could never be replicated, I never saw a loss in power or performance so I haven't had a clue what to do.

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

My mk6 went through THREE water pumps. All covered under warranty because a class action lawsuit forced VW to extend the coverage period several years, but still a pain in the ass. What's frustrating is that VW kept replacing them with the same faulty pump instead of addressing the problem and redesigning it.
