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.
Pros: trouble free for 35k miles
Cons: leaking water pumps
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 35000 km
levels dropped and signs of leakage. Dealer verified that water pump was leaking and replaced under warranty.
Pros: replaced under warranty
Cons: coolant leakage

I had my water pump and thermostat replaced recently and they did remove the intake manifold and replaced the gasket in order to gain access to the water pump assy.

My 2019 Tiguan SE 4motion with about 20,000 miles has been telling me to add coolant every few weeks. Today I dropped the car off at my local VW dealership stating I had a possible coolant leak. Just got a call from the service advisor saying hey will need to keep the car overnight bc they have to replace the waterpump!

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...
Cons: ate a water pump

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.
Cons: leaking, plastic construction

VW TSI water pump: garbage.
Cons: garbage quality

That is indeed a common failure item on the 2 liter turbo engine. One of my VWs went out @ 70k miles.
Cons: common failure, failed at 70k miles
Mileage: 70000 km
I had a coolant leak in august. They replaced my water pump under warranty. Brought my car in last week and guess what another freaking leak. They tried to charge me this time but are now fixing it under parts warranty.
Cons: repeated leaks, poor reliability
