I have 27K miles on a Graf with no complaints.
I installed the aluminum pump (Graf) on the wife's Tiguan and it has worked great since. Have put 40K miles on the metal pump and no issues.
Changed it at 9 years / 93k. Belt was still fine but the water pump started to leak so did the timing belt job at the same time. Also upgraded the water pump with one with a metal impeller
GRAF makes this particular pump without the magnetic impeller, and it’s the best option.
You'll need to keep an eye on the coolant bottle level, the water pump has been known to leak and need replacement.
2 water pumps (both under warranty) 3rd one it's on..so far so good. Those repairs cost me nothing.
My 2012 GTI has 175,000 Kms and is on Water pump #4.
Water pump has been replaced 5 times. Twice under warranty. Had I been smart I would’ve gone with an aftermarket metal pump.
Mine has also always had constant problems, I’ve spent so much money just replacing the water pump as well. I’ve also considered selling mine, because the cost of maintenance outweighs the fun of the car…
I’m on my 2nd water pump, and it is starting to leak. I still need a third water pump.
