Just wanted to update the community that it took me about 1.5 hours with me taking things slow to change the water pump on my Kentucky made 2018 Camry SE with 165 miles. I changed the water pump with an Aisin model with a new seal as well as drained and refilled the coolant. From what I understand there is a tsb about a false positive water pump error but in my case it was a part failure. After replacement the check engine code went away on its own immediately on first start.
Pros: check engine code went away
Cons: part failure
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
Mileage: 265 km

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.
Pros: bulletproof if taken care
Cons: water pump went bad

Waterpump. There's no way to visually inspect the WP without removing it.. Which would basically be a timing belt job. Pull the pump, I bet it's missing plastic.
Pros: missing plastic
Cons: no visual inspection
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Dorman, from my experience, is not a reliable brand

As a mechanic who used to work on these cars daily, it really depends if you're willing to fork out the amount that's due every couple of years, the water pumps on vw/Audi/ Porsche and mercs are always prone to fail within a couple of years even if you go aftermarket.
Cons: water pumps prone to fail
my 2018 (build date Aug 2018) had no head gasket issues, although the water pump leaked prematurely.
Cons: water pump leaked prematurely
Vehicle:

Yup that's how my Z3 once tried to kill me. Doing 90kph on the off ramp and the ol water pump decided to retire. In the process dousing my rear wheels in coolant.
Cons: rear wheels in coolant
Vehicle:
BMW Z3
