Water pump OEM Toyota or OEM Volkswagen

In the end I just went with the genuine vw part from FCP. The original lasted 149k miles and I have never heard of an OEM pump leaking, just the earlier design impeller breaking apart. And I know that problem has been rectified through Vw. So as long as it holds together for at least 100k miles, I now have a lifetime warranty through FCP.

Yes, I replaced the water pump with a metal water pump n new timing belt. Completely rebuilt the engine.

Replace it when it looks worn. Water pump failing would normally just cause the car to over heat so no need to change it as a maintenance item. I’ve also owned the previous ea888.3 in my Gli and I had 100k with no issues what so ever.

I have a Tiguan 2015. I tend to get a waterpump problem. At first, I've tried to fix it at another workshop. Cost me $700+ with only 3 months warranty and in less than a year, the waterpump broke again. Tried fixing at the agent, they gave me $800+ with 1 year warranty and I was also able to claim it after 1 year & 2 months.

i noticed that my coolant was a tiny bit low in early October. Well, when I took it in last Tuesday, November 24th, turns out that I needed a new water pump, and because there was a 5 year, 60,000 mile warranty, and 5 years had just passed, i had to pay ~$700 to have it fixed. so far so good after that, but I am going to write VWOA about it, because I was literally only about two weeks out of the 5 year warranty expiration.

Only 4 water pumps, 1 manual clutch assembly (broken spring on pressure plate) and 48K miles on my MK6

The current EA888 has a reputation for leaky water pumps.

Got my 2017 Golf Wolfsburg Edition at the dealer right now for its 40K service and got a call that after they finished up they found a leaking water pump.

89 gti, 90 g60, 91 Jetta, 04 gti, 11 Touareg... All had water pump failures. I'm waiting for my mk7's pump to shit the bed any day now.
