I also used a kit from FCP Euro about 8 years ago and it included a HEPU water pump that worked fine for 7 years until I dismantled that car.
I have a 2011 it has 125K miles stage 2 tuned still running the original water pump....
OEM ones with version letters later than, IIRC, M at the end of the number and certainly all the later double letter ones have no issues.
my hepu has been in for 9 years with zero issues
I've had my 2010 GTI for about a year now. I've taken it from 103k to 109k, Only issues have been plastic hoses and the water pump. Other than that its been totally fine.
We've had a 2009 GTI since new and now has 110k. In the last 16 years, we've replaced 2 water pumps, one dsg mech unit (under warranty), abs unit, pcv valve, rear main seal and in the past year, timing chain and guides as preventative maintenance.
My 16’ mk7 is showing some age, and it is in the shop now for water pump & thermostat (leaks unfortunately at 95k mi, original pump).
a Hepu which went seven years/60,000 miles before it started leaking. I think the additional mass of the metal impeller put more stress on the bearing and seal.
Am pățit la fel dar cu o pompa Hepu, a mea a avut un sunet înainte să crape și la 120km/h a cedat axul, similar cum a fost a ta.
I have a 2010 VW Tiguan, it has almost 102,000 miles on it... The garage said to fix what probably is the water pump would be very costly, the water pump is buried in the car, he said removing parts would add more costs with brittle hoses, etc.
