Water pump OEM FORD or OEM Volkswagen

Just had this fail on our wagon (EA888 Gen 3) and independent shop charged $900 but that included the OEM full water pump assembly (not a rebuild, brand new) along with coolant flush and a few gaskets.

I have a 2015 R and my water pump failed in January, about 2 months before my warranty expired. It was covered by the dealer under the warranty so not sure what the cost was. Pump and thermostat were both replaced.

Water pump refinement Again, not looking for anything miraculous here, just making for a smoother flow.

The water pump on my 2017 mk7 lasted nearly 100k miles before crapping out on me. :( Quite a pricey repair job, that was.

Replaced mine when it started leaking at 107,000km… man it’s annoying

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.*

My waterpump just leaked.

I am now at about 55k and the water pump failed on it causing it to overheat. I learned that the 2015 gen 3 TDIs have a variable water pump that fails quite often causing overheating - just a matter of time.

The water pump on our 2019 GTI fully failed a couple of months ago (turns out what I've been smelling since we got the car new was likely a very slow drip of coolant leaking). Well within warranty, well under the mileage.
