When doing your own maintenance, a problem may arise in the event of a recall. My application under the water pump recall for my previous Tiguan (1st Gen - PQ) was denied even though it was replaced at a VW dealer because I did not show "convincing evidence" of having followed the scheduled coolant maintenance despite including my aftermarket receipts with miles and dates.
Cons: recall application denied
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
2012 Jetta GLI - 94K miles (I bought at 50K). Two water pumps, one heater core, and carbonized valves. Not my best experience.

Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta

I bought a saleri water pump with plans to install it myself. When I realized the job would be a little harder than I expected I decided to take it to a shop to install. They just sent me a report saying that they installed the saleri and it “was not within the tolerances for the spec” and it began “leaking immediately”. There solution is to order me a graf water pump which they describe as a “reputable” brand which insinuates that I brought them a water pump worse than a graf which from my research doesn’t seem to be true. I’m a little frustrated as they are billing me $400 extra to buy and install the Graf when I thought the saleri one should’ve been fine.
Cons: not within tolerances, leaking immediately
