I run a Graf pump myself for about 2 months now and it's working fine so far.
In my case the leaking was from the plastic water pump housing which is a common fault for this engine. I replaced the plastic water pump with GRAF PA1359, which is metal housing instead of the OEM plastic one.
I've run the plastic pump on 2 different cars for over 100k no issue, in fact I only changed one because the thermostat went bad and the water pump's reputation. I do have the metal Graf pump now, I like it so far.
I got the graf as well, def better than what the previous owner used
Graf is fine, I've put a bunch of them in 240s over the years, none have failed yet.
Graf is good.
Every one I've ever gotten from GAP has been HEPU. The one in my GLI was really noisy for almost a year after installation. The other two in my GTIs never gave me any problems.
graf has failed on me twice prematurely
I just had to deal with a Graf pump failing at 6000 miles on my CRUA. Everything is low quality trash now.
I had a defective hepu pump that leaked also. Only had about 20k miles on it
