Water pump Pierburg or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
Water pump you will want to raise the engine to gain access to the water pump. I suggest you use a metal impeller replacement and not a plastic one like the factory original.
Pros: metal impeller replacement
Cons: plastic factory original
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
we always used Pierburg assemblies with Mahle gaskets/o-rings if needed.
Pros: Pierburg assemblies used
The BMW original from pierburg last way longer than 60,000 miles, more like 90,000 miles. Plus, as time went on they made them better than before. Getter a new one today will last longer than the original one.
We routinely get cars with 120,000 miles on their first water pump too.
Pros: long lasting, improved quality
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 144841 km
My car had a Pierburg on it for over 100k miles and 12 years. It still worked great before I replaced it out of caution.
Pros: long lasting, worked great
Mileage: 160934 km
I could smell coolant when my car was 6 months old. I was losing about 8 ounces a year. VW agreed to fix the water pump under warranty but I decided to wait. Five years later it hasn't gotten any worse.
Cons: smell of coolant
2019 atlas (built 11/18) it had the water pump dine around 60k, nothing else engine wise, just rolled 95k.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 60000 km
My GTI’s water pump shat itself around 60k kilometres too :( going strong since but it’s a very common fault unfortunately
Pros: going strong since
Cons: very common fault
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 60000 km
Fuckt this shit why can’t VW the fix the root cause of the problem which is the goddamn shitty plastic waterpump?
Cons: poor plastic quality
Our 2017 Polo, 85km, had a water pump replaced by dealer a couple of years ago.
$1600. Had a heart attack.
Cons: expensive repair
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Polo
Mileage: 85 km
I would get a vdo/continental water pump. I’ve bought the all aluminum water pump from pierburg and it died in about 800 miles.
Cons: died in 800 miles
Mileage: 800 km
