60k on my mk7r, hasn't needed anything but maintenance. Water pumps were a known issue on early mk7 but from my understanding have been resolved in new part revisions with upgraded metal internals.
My next car I got a Hepu pump, which FCP lists as an OEM supplier. The impeller is plastic (or composite, I don't remember), but overall the part is so much nicer.
Yeah I bought the water pump assembly from the dealer that came with the thermostat installed.
I have VW 2.0T in my GTI, it has been trouble free for 35k miles so far. Not sure how much different is Audi 2.0T from VW 2.0T, but leaking water pumps / thermostat housings are weak spots on all of them and you can almost be sure on replacing those at some point.
The water pump on my 2017 mk7 lasted nearly 100k miles before crapping out on me. :( Quite a pricey repair job, that was.
Replaced mine when it started leaking at 107,000km… man it’s annoying
2012 Jetta GLI - 94K miles (I bought at 50K). Two water pumps, one heater core, and carbonized valves. Not my best experience.
IDK - I was at 160K or so miles when I sold my '11 Tiguan. Sure, it ate a water pump, had the first gen timing chain tensioner replaced, needed cv axles, had a stuck fuel injector, lost an intake manifold, blew a turbo diaphragm, destroyed its engine mount bushings, struts and shocks went bad, needed seat covers replaced because they cracked and split and needed new tires every 25K or so...
The tech noticed the water pump was leaking slightly. All got repaired under VW warranty which was lucky as it was around £1800 otherwise I think. Anyway, the weird thing is the car always lost coolant from new - it would drop to the min level, but they couldn't find a fault when I mentioned it until they physically found the water pump leaking after 4 years and 40k miles. I think the pump is plastic which may not be ideal.
VW TSI water pump: garbage.
