Water pump GMB or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
Mines at 85k, no probs yet.
Pros: no problems
Mileage: 85000 km
I'm currently sitting at 67k miles on my 2019 GLI without any issues. I'm pretty sure I won't have an issue by 80k miles.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 67000 km
My original water pump lasted 115,000 miles. I saw the fluid levels subside over the years, but never actual signs of a leak. Eventually, the leak became obvious enough to diagnose.
Pros: lasted 115,000 miles
Cons: eventually started leaking
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 185074 km
I replaced both mine and my dad's with GMB. Mechanic recommend it too. So far so good.
Pros: good performance
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
Generally the OEM plastic water pump only lasts as long as the timing belt interval. I wouldn't rule it out since the overflow water you might be seeing could just be water which is expanding or boiling as you increase the engine speed.
Pros: lasts timing belt interval
Cons: plastic water pump
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
VW TSI water pump: garbage.
Cons: garbage quality
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I put in a GMB in my '02 two years ago, and it's leaking already.
Cons: leaking, short lifespan
Vehicle:
BMW
That is indeed a common failure item on the 2 liter turbo engine. One of my VWs went out @ 70k miles.
Cons: common failure, failed at 70k miles
Mileage: 70000 km
I had a coolant leak in august. They replaced my water pump under warranty. Brought my car in last week and guess what another freaking leak. They tried to charge me this time but are now fixing it under parts warranty.
Cons: repeated leaks, poor reliability
