Water pump Gates or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I have had very good experiences with the NEW Gates pumps and they make a replacement tube as well. I have installed them in 17 4.0 engines over the last 4 years and had no comeback failures.
Pros: very good experiences, no failures
Yeah I bought the water pump assembly from the dealer that came with the thermostat installed.
Pros: thermostat installed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I have VW 2.0T in my GTI, it has been trouble free for 35k miles so far. Not sure how much different is Audi 2.0T from VW 2.0T, but leaking water pumps / thermostat housings are weak spots on all of them and you can almost be sure on replacing those at some point.
Pros: trouble free for 35k miles
Cons: leaking water pumps
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 35000 km
The water pump on my 2017 mk7 lasted nearly 100k miles before crapping out on me. :( Quite a pricey repair job, that was.

Cons: eventual failure, pricey repair

Mileage: 100000 km
