Mine was still going at 123k. I did have a shadow code (2E85) but that had been there for years. I decided to replace it out of caution and. Now have about 10k on the new one.
We used an Aisin water pump. We have had no problems with this water pump as of 11k miles on the engine rebuild now.
Get a Gates water pump. Good quality part for a good price.
I replaced both mine and my dad's with GMB. Mechanic recommend it too. So far so good.
I personally replaced the water pump on my Tiguan with a Graf aluminum pump. The only issue I've had was the rubber o-ring on the temp sensor leaking. I replaced all the rubber seals with Rein branded ones and no more leaks.
I have a Tiguan 2015. I tend to get a waterpump problem. At first, I've tried to fix it at another workshop. Cost me $700+ with only 3 months warranty and in less than a year, the waterpump broke again. Tried fixing at the agent, they gave me $800+ with 1 year warranty and I was also able to claim it after 1 year & 2 months.
My waterpump just leaked.
Gates is crap. Bought their water pump and it failed less than a year and leaked the whole time.
Mine broke in less than 500 miles and their replacement broke too (which I paid for till I returned them the faulty one back) in less than 500 miles on an Audi A1. Now they have my money for 2 water pumps and I paid for labour costs of replacing twice, and waiting for a refund decision for more than a month. AVOID!!!
I went through two in my 06 Impreza across 326,000km ....
