Water pump Pierburg or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
Pierburg is the OEM maker of the BMW water pump. Spending the extra for the BMW is ridiculous when they are 100% the same exact same pump from the same company from the same factory.
Pros: OEM quality, same as BMW
Cons: BMW overpriced
Vehicle:
BMW
Yeah I bought the water pump assembly from the dealer that came with the thermostat installed.
Pros: thermostat installed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 45061 km
After wrapping up and turning it back on the CEL/MIL light comes on for Aux water pump and they replaced that too the next day.
Pros: aux water pump replaced
Cons: CEL/MIL light
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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!

I am now at about 55k and the water pump failed on it causing it to overheat. I learned that the 2015 gen 3 TDIs have a variable water pump that fails quite often causing overheating - just a matter of time.
Cons: water pump failed, overheating
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 55000 km
The water pump on our 2019 GTI fully failed a couple of months ago (turns out what I've been smelling since we got the car new was likely a very slow drip of coolant leaking). Well within warranty, well under the mileage.
Cons: fully failed, slow coolant leak
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
They replaced the water pump after it failed around 35k on my 2017 alltrack.
Cons: failed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 35000 km
Failed on my 2016 after 1 year and 17K.
Cons: failed early
Mileage: 17000 km
