Water pump OEM Toyota or OEM Volkswagen

Engine water pump is leaking coolant. The pulley and drive belt are slinging the coolant onto other components. Highly recommend to replace with factory parts.

Electric water pump is leaking, replace with an oem toyota part dont cheap out and go aftermarket on this part.

I have a 2011 it has 125K miles stage 2 tuned still running the original water pump....

OEM ones with version letters later than, IIRC, M at the end of the number and certainly all the later double letter ones have no issues.

If VW made the EA888 engine without a waterpump made of soft cheese.

I still bought one. But it would be good not to treat a waterpump as a regular service item.

Waterpump leaking at 120km Belt was like new.

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.

As a mechanic who used to work on these cars daily, it really depends if you're willing to fork out the amount that's due every couple of years, the water pumps on vw/Audi/ Porsche and mercs are always prone to fail within a couple of years even if you go aftermarket.

my 2018 (build date Aug 2018) had no head gasket issues, although the water pump leaked prematurely.
