Just had this fail on our wagon (EA888 Gen 3) and independent shop charged $900 but that included the OEM full water pump assembly (not a rebuild, brand new) along with coolant flush and a few gaskets.
Pros: OEM full water pump assembly

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.
Pros: covered under warranty

Water pump refinement Again, not looking for anything miraculous here, just making for a smoother flow.
Pros: 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
Pros: issue resolved, covered by warranty
Cons: coolant leak, difficult to locate

I have a Tiguan 2015. I tend to get a waterpump problem. At first, I've tried to fix it at another workshop. Cost me $700+ with only 3 months warranty and in less than a year, the waterpump broke again. Tried fixing at the agent, they gave me $800+ with 1 year warranty and I was also able to claim it after 1 year & 2 months.
Pros: able to claim warranty
Cons: waterpump problem
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
i noticed that my coolant was a tiny bit low in early October. Well, when I took it in last Tuesday, November 24th, turns out that I needed a new water pump, and because there was a 5 year, 60,000 mile warranty, and 5 years had just passed, i had to pay ~$700 to have it fixed. so far so good after that, but I am going to write VWOA about it, because I was literally only about two weeks out of the 5 year warranty expiration.
Pros: fixed, working well
Cons: coolant low, expensive repair

The current EA888 has a reputation for leaky water pumps.

89 gti, 90 g60, 91 Jetta, 04 gti, 11 Touareg... All had water pump failures. I'm waiting for my mk7's pump to shit the bed any day now.
Cons: history of failures, unreliable

After 2 water pumps... I sold my MK6. Thankfully it was all under warranty but having to leave my car at the dealer every other month cost me just as much in time.
Pros: covered by warranty
Cons: frequent failures, time consuming repairs
