Water pump Saleri or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I have a Saleri pump with a Victor reinz paper gasket. I did not realize during my replacement that oem isn’t paper as that’s what was already on there, and haven’t had a problem. Interested to know if they fail slowly or suddenly and if I have to add another preventative maintenance item to my list, but it’s been going strong for 30K miles.
Pros: no problems, going strong 30K miles
Mileage: 48280 km
I have a 2013 GTI with 105k on my original water pump, no issues

I had Saleri in for 50k miles with no issues. Then, after a cooling refresh, I bought Saleri again, and it's been 20k miles with no issues so far.
Pros: no issues, long lifespan
Mileage: 50000 km

There was only a slight oil residue on top of old water pump and none inside or near the pumps gaskets. No cracks in the plastic housing were found anywhere on the old pump.
Pros: none
Cons: slight oil residue

Water pump has been replaced 5 times. Twice under warranty. Had I been smart I would’ve gone with an aftermarket metal pump.
Pros: warranty covered some replacements
Cons: repeated failures, frequent replacement

Mine has also always had constant problems, I’ve spent so much money just replacing the water pump as well. I’ve also considered selling mine, because the cost of maintenance outweighs the fun of the car…
Cons: constant problems, high replacement cost

I’m on my 2nd water pump, and it is starting to leak. I still need a third water pump.
Cons: repeated leaks, frequent replacement

Water pump 1 failed during the original warranty. Water pump 2 failed just outside of the new extended warranty for them I think I was at like 101,000 miles. Water pump 3 has now failed. I think im at like 110,000. Im really sick of being stranded in the middle of the night after work and Im sick of paying over $$$ for this obvious problem that everyone knows is a problem with these cars. I cant replace water pumps on average every 3 years. This isnt normal. Im 40 years old and have had many, many cars and 2 work trucks. I have never has a water pump fail on any car ever other than this one.
Cons: repeated failures, high cost
