Had a better look during weekend and the "substance" in the expansion tank looks and feels like rust particles not oil. It does not feel slick. I'll be replacing the pump with the aluminum Graf unit soon, hoping I'll last more than 100k at least.

Pros: aluminum unit, hoping longevity

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

I ordered the Graf aluminum water pump kit from ECS Tuning and did the job this past weekend. I'm glad I took the intake manifold off. I did some carbon cleaning while I was in there, I was surprised to see how much build up was in there for a 70K engine. I don't really see how I could have replaced the pump without removing the intake manifold

Pros: carbon cleaning done

Cons: challenging job

Mileage: 70000 km

I went to the dealer and after a long discussion about plastic vs metal impellers (they thought the VW branded pump was metal) a nice gentleman at the dealer ordered me a Graf branded aftermarket pump for $100 Canadian all-in.

Pros: Graf branded aftermarket pump

I had a problem with a metal impeller water pump: I did a tbelt change about 10K miles ago. Used a GRAF water pump with a metal impeller(I think it is most common with the aftermarket tbelt kits). The bearing seal started leaking coolant 8k miles later.

Cons: bearing seal leaking coolant

Mileage: 10000 km
