Water pump OEM Audi or OEM Volkswagen

I have VW 2.0T in my GTI, it has been trouble free for 35k miles so far. Not sure how much different is Audi 2.0T from VW 2.0T, but leaking water pumps / thermostat housings are weak spots on all of them and you can almost be sure on replacing those at some point.

Had my water pump replaced around 50,000 miles in my 2017 A4 2.0t. Other than that, the car has been rock solid.

levels dropped and signs of leakage. Dealer verified that water pump was leaking and replaced under warranty.

Now, I had to get the motor mounts and water pump replaced. Pump was leaking a bit, not taking chances with that.

After wrapping up and turning it back on the CEL/MIL light comes on for Aux water pump and they replaced that too the next day.

VW TSI water pump: garbage.

That is indeed a common failure item on the 2 liter turbo engine. One of my VWs went out @ 70k miles.

I had a coolant leak in august. They replaced my water pump under warranty. Brought my car in last week and guess what another freaking leak. They tried to charge me this time but are now fixing it under parts warranty.

Mine is a 2019 (abiet a GTI) and it's on its 3rd water pump

Someday, VAG will figure out how to make a water pump. *That day is not today.*
