Water pump Hepu or OEM Volkswagen

water pump should be changed to metal impeller version at the time of timing belt change

i just got my waterpump replaced at 14,000 miles and it got rid of that annoying sound.

Any replacement whether it br Graf or Hepu are going to have a metal impeller and be an exact factory replacement. The wheel itself will be identical in shape and circulate the same volume of coolant.

I ordered one from MJM Autohaus, a Hepu unit and its impeller is metal

My original plastic impeller pump failed at 145k miles. I replaced with with a metal impeller pump (Hepu IIRC).

Then I hear a squeal in the water pump and a few days later it dies a silent steamy death.

I joined the water pump failure club this week in my 2013 GTI. Got lucky and they happened to have one sitting around the dealer...

I just lost my motor on christmas day due to water pump failure (hepu brand)

Had the first water pump replaced 02/13. The coolant warning light went on this week so I made an appointment with my dealer. 25k and on the 2nd replacement water pump.

I just had my secondary water pump replaced a month ago. Yesterday I found a huge puddle of coolant in my driveway. Off to the VW dealer again. This time it's the water pump.
