I bought this KIT from SHOPDAP and it was a breeze to install. The price at SHOPDAP is great too.
Graf with the metal impeller. No issues.
I've used Graf water pumps on two different E46s without any issues.
I ordered the kit from urotuning for my gfs 01 golf, been in for almost 2 years now no issues. They use a Graf water pump with a metal impeller.
Replace it when it looks worn. Water pump failing would normally just cause the car to over heat so no need to change it as a maintenance item. I’ve also owned the previous ea888.3 in my Gli and I had 100k with no issues what so ever.
Mine died 2 months ago (2012 GTI). It leaked out the coolant over 2 days or so. Dealership replaced it free, then I got the recall notice.
155k miles - water pump leaking again, gaskets in inlet/outlet pipes need new gaskets, put on aftermarket aluminum water pump in hopes to prevent future leaks.
Then I hear a squeal in the water pump and a few days later it dies a silent steamy death.
I joined the water pump failure club this week in my 2013 GTI. Got lucky and they happened to have one sitting around the dealer...
Had the first water pump replaced 02/13. The coolant warning light went on this week so I made an appointment with my dealer. 25k and on the 2nd replacement water pump.
