I have a 2015 R and my water pump failed in January, about 2 months before my warranty expired. It was covered by the dealer under the warranty so not sure what the cost was. Pump and thermostat were both replaced.
Water pump refinement Again, not looking for anything miraculous here, just making for a smoother flow.
I went with the TYC brand from Rock Auto, which costs about 1/2 of the price of the VW kit. Quality seemed good enough--I have used the TYC brand on two other VWs.
That is one reason we put disc brakes all around and lowered the CG of the main mass and installed KYB gas shocks, etc.
Just had my water pump replaced about a month ago to resolve the issue during my 40k service — hoping it holds. Techs at local VW dealership took about two days to locate the issue and make sure it could hold pressure. I was covered under power train warranty
I'm glad to hear more positive results with the APR IC! I'm going to experiment with how much my fueling setup likes ethanol, but I'll probably still get a simple wmi setup just to drop IATs. I went out and did a few pulls tonight and holy **** this car is pulling strong.
I just purchased a 2011 Tiguan SE last week and fell in love with it, until my ABS, parking, airbag, traction control lights, and steering light came on. My cruise control also stopped working. I did some research on this thread and took my car to the dealership yesterday and referred the mechanic to look at the speed sensors first to save him some steps. Sure enough, it was the speed sensors.
I was one of the first to install them like 2-3 years ago, and am pretty happy with them :)
My 3.6 Passat has a similar noise for all of its 225k miles, and two engines... May not be what you're hearing but it goes through a throttle body alignment after the car is turned off.
VW used the Hankook Optimo tires in Canada as the OEM tire on our Golf Sportwagen. One of the worst performing tire I've ever owned.
