Looks fine to me. I typically install Graf water pumps which are a similar stamped metal design and works just fine.
I have over 200k on the Graf I installed at 120k miles.
21 atlas with 120k here. No major issues. Just regular maintenance stuff. Replaced a leaky water pump with is a normal thing.
I have a Graf and I haven't had any problems.
2019 atlas (built 11/18) it had the water pump dine around 60k, nothing else engine wise, just rolled 95k.
There was only a slight oil residue on top of old water pump and none inside or near the pumps gaskets. No cracks in the plastic housing were found anywhere on the old pump.
It’s a Vw water pump. It would have failed shortly after install anyway
Had a 2016 GTI and went through two water pumps before the car hit 90k miles. Both covered under the extended warranty VW has on them. They’re a known failure part at this point.
My mk7 water pump went out at 76k and will probably need to be done soon I’m at 135k now. I live in the heat of arizona too. It really gets tested here.
The water pumps are plastic. Heat and plastic don’t go well together. My MK6 has had at least 3 water pumps and sitting at 120k.
