Water pump OEM FORD or OEM Volkswagen

water pump should be changed to metal impeller version at the time of timing belt change

i just got my waterpump replaced at 14,000 miles and it got rid of that annoying sound.

from 88k to 150k miles, I put in a new water pump ($27). otherwise very reliable and easy to find parts as there are tons of them in the junkyards.

I have this problem. I have been hearing the noise on and off for about 6 months. It only lasts for a few seconds and usually happens at lights or when idling before I turn it off. It could never be replicated, I never saw a loss in power or performance so I haven't had a clue what to do.

If your water pump is shot or going you will notice that your car is going to run hotter than ever. If you continuously see that you are overheating this could be the result of a bad water pump. I had to replace my water pump @ 25K when the original pump was removed the plastic impeller inside came out in about 4 pieces. It was completly fubar..

I just had my secondary water pump replaced a month ago. Yesterday I found a huge puddle of coolant in my driveway. Off to the VW dealer again. This time it's the water pump.

I've a 2012 GTI with just over 9K miles on it that had a water pump leak on me yesterday. Took to dealer and got it back this afternoon. I live 2 miles from the dealer and drove home no problem. On the way to my parents 40th wedding anniversary dinner this evening no more than another 2 miles after I left home it had another major leak happen. The coolant reservoir had completely cracked and I had coolant all over my engine compartment.

went in for my 20k maintenance/service on my 2011 GTI, Waterpump was shot, replaced free of charge but leaves me worried...

My water pump just needed replacement as well. I didn't have any visible or audible signs besides the low coolant level alert. The dealer said that this has been a fairly common issue but there is still no recall.

Just got a call from the dealer. Water pump is leaking coolant.
