Water pump Hepu or OEM Volkswagen

GMB or Hepu pumps are generally good for 100k or more.\n\nThat leak is due to the donut like seal between the pump and the head.

I have a 2013 GTI on the original water pump at 100k miles.

I have a 2016 GTI. A little over 50,000 miles on it. No issues yet.

I'm rocking 110k miles on the original pump here on a 2015.

2 water pumps (both under warranty) 3rd one it's on..so far so good. Those repairs cost me nothing.

Waterpump. There's no way to visually inspect the WP without removing it.. Which would basically be a timing belt job. Pull the pump, I bet it's missing plastic.

My water pump broke the first time 23k miles ago. Another one just went out on me. I’m 1 month past the 8 years and only at 72k miles.

It’s a Vw water pump. It would have failed shortly after install anyway

Had a 2016 GTI and went through two water pumps before the car hit 90k miles. Both covered under the extended warranty VW has on them. They’re a known failure part at this point.

My mk7 water pump went out at 76k and will probably need to be done soon I’m at 135k now. I live in the heat of arizona too. It really gets tested here.
