I bought my 2001 Jetta with 80k on it. It came with a broken water pump (plastic) plus 6 belt valves and a quarter of the teeth missing from the timing belt. The pump was in about 30 pieces and the damage to the valves was do to the water pump.

Cons: broken water pump, valve damage
Mileage: 80000 km

OEM Audi Water pump

Not true. The maintenance schedule for the belt is 105,000 miles. Many of the pumps with plastic impellers fail before that. The plastic composite seems to age and become brittle after 70k or 80k miles--some sooner and some later. But they do fail. This is what happens:

Cons: plastic pumps fail early
Vehicle: Audi TT
Mileage: 70000 km
