Mileage: 192000 km
Great if taken care of!

There was only a slight oil residue on top of old water pump and none inside or near the pumps gaskets. No cracks in the plastic housing were found anywhere on the old pump.

You'll need to keep an eye on the coolant bottle level, the water pump has been known to leak and need replacement.

My mk7 water pump went out at 76k and will probably need to be done soon I’m at 135k now. I live in the heat of arizona too. It really gets tested here.
Cons: failed at 76k miles, prone to failure

The water pumps are plastic. Heat and plastic don’t go well together. My MK6 has had at least 3 water pumps and sitting at 120k.
Cons: plastic material, frequent failures

Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 120000 km
My 2012 GTI has 175,000 Kms and is on Water pump #4.

Water pump has been replaced 5 times. Twice under warranty. Had I been smart I would’ve gone with an aftermarket metal pump.

Cons: repeated failures, frequent replacement
