Reviews
Otherwise, given the information you've shared, I think replacing the pump is a good idea.
Pros: replacing pump good idea
Vehicle:
Ford
I actually just changed the pump on my 2018. With the pump/thermostat assembly, and a collection of specific tools, it cost me ~$900. I was quoted 2k by a dealer so I saved a good chunk of change. All-in-all the job is straightforward, save plenty of headache with disconnecting hoses and wire clips.
Pros: straightforward job
Cons: disconnecting hoses, wire clips
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
My 17 S is sitting at 108k. Only issues I\u2019ve had outside of normal maintenance has been a water pump at 102k and cam magnets at 103k. It\u2019s been the model of reliability and its nearly still as tight as it was when new.
Pros: model of reliability
Cons: water pump, cam magnets
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 108000 km
Maintenance is king on these cars. They also need to be driven hard every blue moon as well. I\u2019ve been is38 stage 2 since 42k. Currently at 173k with no issues outside of the standard waterpump which was replaced at 125k.
