Water pump OEM Toyota or OEM Volkswagen

Toyota / Lexus hybrids are bulletproof if taken care of. My 2007 Toyota Prius was bulletproof. The only thing that went bad was water pump at 192000 miles.

Great if taken care of!

I have a 2016 Golf 5MT, 160k mi now. It's been tuned for 120k and only major issue I've had is the original water pump went out last spring at approx. 140k.

I have a 2013 GTI with 105k on my original water pump, no issues

It was the water pump

There was only a slight oil residue on top of old water pump and none inside or near the pumps gaskets. No cracks in the plastic housing were found anywhere on the old pump.

You'll need to keep an eye on the coolant bottle level, the water pump has been known to leak and need replacement.

My mk7 water pump went out at 76k and will probably need to be done soon I’m at 135k now. I live in the heat of arizona too. It really gets tested here.

The water pumps are plastic. Heat and plastic don’t go well together. My MK6 has had at least 3 water pumps and sitting at 120k.

My 2012 GTI has 175,000 Kms and is on Water pump #4.

Water pump has been replaced 5 times. Twice under warranty. Had I been smart I would’ve gone with an aftermarket metal pump.
