I have a 2015 R and my water pump failed in January, about 2 months before my warranty expired. It was covered by the dealer under the warranty so not sure what the cost was. Pump and thermostat were both replaced.
Water pump refinement Again, not looking for anything miraculous here, just making for a smoother flow.
Just had my water pump replaced about a month ago to resolve the issue during my 40k service — hoping it holds. Techs at local VW dealership took about two days to locate the issue and make sure it could hold pressure. I was covered under power train warranty
In the end I just went with the genuine vw part from FCP. The original lasted 149k miles and I have never heard of an OEM pump leaking, just the earlier design impeller breaking apart. And I know that problem has been rectified through Vw. So as long as it holds together for at least 100k miles, I now have a lifetime warranty through FCP.
I’ve had my car for over 5 years now and currently have 140k miles, and my water pump just recently failed me. Which is surprising because my car did lose a little bit of coolant over time, I would always top off with G13. Water pump failed and it’s currently being replaced, other than that, I think that’s fair for age and mileage.
VW water pumps have been faulty for decades with no correction for them in site, and carbon buildup will happen *no matter what.*
My waterpump just leaked.
I am now at about 55k and the water pump failed on it causing it to overheat. I learned that the 2015 gen 3 TDIs have a variable water pump that fails quite often causing overheating - just a matter of time.
The water pump on our 2019 GTI fully failed a couple of months ago (turns out what I've been smelling since we got the car new was likely a very slow drip of coolant leaking). Well within warranty, well under the mileage.
They replaced the water pump after it failed around 35k on my 2017 alltrack.
