Water pump OEM Audi or OEM Volkswagen

I have a 2013 GTI with 105k on my original water pump, no issues

Audi made it right by making the oem water pump replacement aluminum, not plastic smh.

I bought a 2017 S3 with 40k kms, best car I’ve owned so far, had to replace the water pump but I swear the OEM one is made of cardboard. No more expensive than any other car to service.

My b9 has had 0 problems except water pump, 110k

Carbon cleaning, water pump replacement, possibly turbo replacement, timing chain, and dsg service are large ones over 100k miles. Those are issues I've had with my a3 with the 2.0t with over 138k miles.

I had mine done on my 2018 S4 from an Audi dealer in PA. Cost me $3,928 total. They replaced the water pump and hoses, coolant regulating valve, vacuum control valves and lines, and the serpentine valve. The water pump is what failed and took everything else with it.

My GTI’s water pump shat itself around 60k kilometres too :( going strong since but it’s a very common fault unfortunately

Fuckt this shit why can’t VW the fix the root cause of the problem which is the goddamn shitty plastic waterpump?

Our 2017 Polo, 85km, had a water pump replaced by dealer a couple of years ago.

$1600. Had a heart attack.

Audi doesn't have the best record with water pumps and housings. On the 8V S3, the pump would start to leak, but it would drip onto the splash guard and never make it to the ground. The only signs were coolant smell and frequently needing to top off the coolant.
