I have a 2010 Accord with 196K and the original water pump! No issues.
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.
Mahle is probably the OEM manufacturer for VW/Audi for this part and possibly others. They’re not selling it through the dealer so they grind off the logo instead of making separate molds.
Ive had mine and its oem continental on a 2012 with 170k mils
Mine does that after replacing all timing components with Aisin kit (replaced it myself). And it’s a known thing that Aisin water pumps make “warbling” sound. I’m assuming that’s what you’re hearing
Reliable Graf, hepu pump showing seepage, installed recently. Will reach out to the manufacturer.
I have a 2010 VW Tiguan, it has almost 102,000 miles on it... The garage said to fix what probably is the water pump would be very costly, the water pump is buried in the car, he said removing parts would add more costs with brittle hoses, etc.
My Audi s5 back then had the v8, and around 43-45000 mi I had to swap mine out
The general consensus was water pump, a moderate to complex job. I have a great Indy that got at it straight away whilst they’re doing my ceramic front pads, and confirmed water pump failure! Also replacing a thermostat and a sensor in the head that seems to be melted! There has been zero damage caused as I stopped immediately as the message appeared! 1 of the 3 parts is on back order from Germany allowing 5 working days postage, the car will be put back together early part of the week after next due to delay! On an internet deep dive it’s clear that the water pump failure is an Achilles on the turbo engine, scores of people have suffered the same fate! I’m at 40k miles second owner with fastidious and comprehensive service history, oil and filter every 5k miles etc! The bill will top out at £2.5k which is a fraction of what Porsche U.K. charge for this job which is a fair amount of labour for a moderate to complex job! I Would advise anyone to change the water pump if they’re ever anywhere near it doing other maintenance if this goes and you’re miles from home then it’s a recovery job and like I say they seem to be a little decrepit for my liking and a problem to many!
If the hepu water pump I put on my 3.0T is anything to go by, I don't know that I would recommend them for chains.
