Water pump OEM BMW or OEM Volkswagen

I've had my mk6 for 5 years and driven it 50,000 miles (total 130,000) on the same water pump.

60k on my mk7r, hasn't needed anything but maintenance. Water pumps were a known issue on early mk7 but from my understanding have been resolved in new part revisions with upgraded metal internals.

Yeah I bought the water pump assembly from the dealer that came with the thermostat installed.

My water pump lasted 420,000km

19 here and no issues, but all mk7s (gti/gli/R/s3/2.0a3s etc) are known for water pump and thermostat issues.

I replaced my water pump at about 205K miles. I had seen someone on e90post mentioning he saw fault codes before his pump failed. I decided I could wait if I kept a close eye. At about 205K miles was when I saw a fault code via ISTA/D. It mentioned something about "...water pump speed deviation..."

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.*
