Water pump OEM Toyota or OEM Volkswagen

Water pump you will want to raise the engine to gain access to the water pump. I suggest you use a metal impeller replacement and not a plastic one like the factory original.

I’m driving a 98 Toyota Camry and just changed the water pump at 300k(which includes changing the timing belt).

21 atlas with 120k here. No major issues. Just regular maintenance stuff. Replaced a leaky water pump with is a normal thing.

Changed it at 9 years / 93k. Belt was still fine but the water pump started to leak so did the timing belt job at the same time. Also upgraded the water pump with one with a metal impeller

I could smell coolant when my car was 6 months old. I was losing about 8 ounces a year. VW agreed to fix the water pump under warranty but I decided to wait. Five years later it hasn't gotten any worse.

2019 atlas (built 11/18) it had the water pump dine around 60k, nothing else engine wise, just rolled 95k.

My water pump broke the first time 23k miles ago. Another one just went out on me. I’m 1 month past the 8 years and only at 72k miles.

OEM. Went aftermarket 2 times in a year replacing that pump. Finally bit the bullet and paid for toyota part.

It’s a Vw water pump. It would have failed shortly after install anyway

Had a 2016 GTI and went through two water pumps before the car hit 90k miles. Both covered under the extended warranty VW has on them. They’re a known failure part at this point.
