My water pump was replaced, I was given a loaner and some financial compensation ($599.00) towards the auto loan.
Pros: financial compensation, loaner car

We have had our 2008 for a year and a half. It is a Komfort with 6spd manual and 2.0T. Bought it with 42k on it, currently has about 80k. Problems we have had so far are intake manifold, fuel injector cleaning, and waterpump. Overall we have been really happy with the car.
Pros: drives well, plenty of room
Cons: intake manifold, waterpump

So it turned out to be the water pump. According to the service manager, they've had plenty of TSI engines come through with the same problem and he wasn't surprised about my issue. The repair was covered under the powertrain warranty. I'm happy to have my Tig back.
Pros: repair covered under warranty

Mine died 2 months ago (2012 GTI). It leaked out the coolant over 2 days or so. Dealership replaced it free, then I got the recall notice.
Pros: dealership replaced it free
Cons: leaked coolant

Only main issues I saw were leaking vacuum pumps, valve cover gaskets, pcv leaks (whole valve cover assembly) and water pump sepage.
Cons: water pump sepage

155k miles - water pump leaking again, gaskets in inlet/outlet pipes need new gaskets, put on aftermarket aluminum water pump in hopes to prevent future leaks.
Pros: aftermarket aluminum water pump
Cons: water pump leaking again

Then I hear a squeal in the water pump and a few days later it dies a silent steamy death.

I just had my secondary water pump replaced a month ago. Yesterday I found a huge puddle of coolant in my driveway. Off to the VW dealer again. This time it's the water pump.
