I have a 2015 R and my water pump failed in January, about 2 months before my warranty expired. It was covered by the dealer under the warranty so not sure what the cost was. Pump and thermostat were both replaced.
Pros: covered under warranty

Water pump refinement Again, not looking for anything miraculous here, just making for a smoother flow.
Pros: smoother flow

Just had my water pump replaced about a month ago to resolve the issue during my 40k service — hoping it holds. Techs at local VW dealership took about two days to locate the issue and make sure it could hold pressure. I was covered under power train warranty
Pros: issue resolved, covered by warranty
Cons: coolant leak, difficult to locate

In the end I just went with the genuine vw part from FCP. The original lasted 149k miles and I have never heard of an OEM pump leaking, just the earlier design impeller breaking apart. And I know that problem has been rectified through Vw. So as long as it holds together for at least 100k miles, I now have a lifetime warranty through FCP.
Pros: lasted 149k miles, lifetime warranty
Cons: earlier design impeller breaking

Replaced mine when it started leaking at 107,000km… man it’s annoying
Cons: leaking, annoying

I have a Tiguan 2015. I tend to get a waterpump problem. At first, I've tried to fix it at another workshop. Cost me $700+ with only 3 months warranty and in less than a year, the waterpump broke again. Tried fixing at the agent, they gave me $800+ with 1 year warranty and I was also able to claim it after 1 year & 2 months.
Pros: able to claim warranty
Cons: waterpump problem
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mine failed in my 2015 Golf after 11,000km.

My 2016 Mk7 GTI is on its 4th water pump/thermostat housing. The first replacement happened at about 27K miles, the second failed at 63K miles, and the third failed at 72K miles. I fully expect this one to leak again soon. I find it ridiculous that VW/Audi don't fix a faulty part after all these years. The plastic thermostat housing is to blame. Instead of a metal housing which can handle the thermal stresses, they continue to use a plastic housing which will start leaking sooner or later.
Cons: fails repeatedly, plastic housing, leaks sooner or later

The current EA888 has a reputation for leaky water pumps.
Cons: leaky water pumps
