Water pump Pierburg or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
My 2019 is at 110k. Other than maintenance items like tires, oil, spark plugs ect, the one thing I had to fix was the water pump at 97k. It's been flawless otherwise.
Pros: flawless otherwise
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 110000 km
I drive my 2017 everyday to work and just hitting 95k miles. I'm the only owner and the biggest issue has just been the water pump. It started to leak around 36k but otherwise had been sold.
Pros: good car
Cons: water pump leak
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 95000 km
The water pumps leak. It's not an if, it is a when, and there is no upgraded part or aftermarket part available that will solve the issue going forward.
Cons: water pumps leak
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
For the Atlas I can only do oil and my front breaks on my own, rest the shop has to do. But all VW’s are more focused on performance than accessibility. If you buy an atlas, keep a good $500 set away as a just incase. My car has had an issue with one of the valve seal on the water pump- again super common and I was able to fix it myself. Other than that it’s genuinely been one of the most reliable cars I’ve had, at 150,000km she’s still going strong. It’s really good in the winter, and it’s never struggled to turn over in -40 c and gets warm after 10 minutes still. Only thing that sucks is atleast on the 2018 model the hood extends slightly too far so you can’t leave your windshield wipers up.
Pros: reliable car, good in winter
Cons: gas guzzler, plastic guard annoying

I kind'a have some project and I need to use Pierburg CWA50, all I got in my country is this pump from benz (**A0005001986**), is it same model as Pierburg CWA50? Because the head pump is same but the connector is different (facing upwards). I tried to find specs from this model, the result is empty, can't find any clue about flow rate. I do have original code from Pierburg, which is **7.04933.56.0**, but can't find flow rate either.
Part number: A0005001986
If you're already in there at 101k, replace the water pump and thermostat. That's the only thing that's gone bad on mine 'prematurely', at 85k miles.
Cons: gone bad prematurely

I had a 2012 VW CC EA888 that went through 3 water pumps in 10K miles. The latter two covered under the 1st’s repair warranty. The repair shop on the third one went with a non-OEM metal water pump instead of the OEM plastic variety. I paid the difference which was I think about $80 and that pump held.
Pros: metal pump held
Cons: OEM pump failed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 10000 km
when my original pump went bad, i went to Peirburg so that the plastic housing wouldnt crack. Pump lasted about 20,000 miles, bought another one from fcp euro for the lifetime warranty but this one lasted 20 mins before i got those same codes and overheated.
Cons: short lifespan, immediate failure
Mileage: 32187 km
The only issue is the reliability. Water pump failures are common.
Cons: common failures
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I've had 2 of these die in less than 1 year. Junk!
Cons: died in less than year
