Only 4 water pumps, 1 manual clutch assembly (broken spring on pressure plate) and 48K miles on my MK6
After wrapping up and turning it back on the CEL/MIL light comes on for Aux water pump and they replaced that too the next day.
The current EA888 has a reputation for leaky water pumps.
Just wanted to follow up. Took it the dealer. Later that day, they diagnosed the water pump failure, got my green light for repair under CPO warranty (with $50 deductible), and by the end of the same day the car was treated to a new thermostat/water pump. They recycled the coolant they drained and topped it off - a flush would have been extra. Service advisor said they pressure tested everything when I asked about the cap and everything passed. Let's hope this holds up!
My 2019 Tiguan SE 4motion with about 20,000 miles has been telling me to add coolant every few weeks. Today I dropped the car off at my local VW dealership stating I had a possible coolant leak. Just got a call from the service advisor saying hey will need to keep the car overnight bc they have to replace the waterpump!
My 2017 GTI SE also had a slight coolant smell but no visible leaks on the garage floor. When I brought it in for the 40K mile DSG transmission fluid service a couple of months ago, my dealer detected the leak from a defective water pump and replaced it under warranty.
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.
I've had my mk6 for 5 years and driven it 50,000 miles (total 130,000) on the same 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.
The water pump on my 2017 mk7 lasted nearly 100k miles before crapping out on me. :( Quite a pricey repair job, that was.
