my water pump went at 80K (KM)'s (got it towed to georgetown VW) and when i got my OEM replacement it was metal... compared to the plastic one they took out... Saw it touched it... (they showed me the old plastic one) i thought it was weird and they said in 2002 and after they have metal water pumps... before that it was "plastic"? anyways its in and i have a metal one... and i got it from a VW dealer... OEM part...
Pros: metal impeller, OEM part

I have this problem. I have been hearing the noise on and off for about 6 months. It only lasts for a few seconds and usually happens at lights or when idling before I turn it off. It could never be replicated, I never saw a loss in power or performance so I haven't had a clue what to do.
Pros: noise on and off
Cons: hard to replicate

Volkswagen

If your water pump is shot or going you will notice that your car is going to run hotter than ever. If you continuously see that you are overheating this could be the result of a bad water pump. I had to replace my water pump @ 25K when the original pump was removed the plastic impeller inside came out in about 4 pieces. It was completly fubar..
Pros: car runs hotter
Cons: plastic impeller broke
Mileage: 25000 km
My water pump just needed replacement as well. I didn't have any visible or audible signs besides the low coolant level alert. The dealer said that this has been a fairly common issue but there is still no recall.
Pros: no visible signs
Cons: low coolant level, common issue
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 13000 km
Just got a call from the dealer. Water pump is leaking coolant.
Pros: covered under warranty
Cons: leaking coolant
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
My 2012 GTI, with only 10.000 miles started leaking coolant, turns out the water pump is bad, it is now sitting at the dealer waiting for the part.
Cons: leaking coolant, water pump bad
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 10000 km
Not Always True I replaced mine after 100k w/ an OEM water pump (plastic). Here I am 2 years later w/ another broken water pump. Now, I'm looking into metal & electric water pump. VW makes a piss poor plastic water pump. I'm very frustrated about having to address this issue again, so soon at $800-$850
Cons: broken after 100k
Mileage: 100000 km
They also mentioned that the waterpump is leaking really bad and is shot and needs to be replaced.
Cons: leaking really bad, shot
