Water pump Saleri or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
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

I had my water pump and thermostat replaced recently and they did remove the intake manifold and replaced the gasket in order to gain access to the water pump assy.

Just had this fail on our wagon (EA888 Gen 3) and independent shop charged $900 but that included the OEM full water pump assembly (not a rebuild, brand new) along with coolant flush and a few gaskets.
Pros: OEM full water pump assembly
Vehicle:

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!

The water pump on my 2017 mk7 lasted nearly 100k miles before crapping out on me. :( Quite a pricey repair job, that was.
Pros: long lifespan (100k miles)
Cons: eventual failure, pricey repair

Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 100000 km
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

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
