I also wanted to add that this video is VERY helpful and knowledgeable.

Thanks for this video! It helped me finally realize that engine oil causes expansion of the gasket. Hopefully this FOURTH water pump replacement is the last for a while!!!

The car now has 162K miles and I just got done replacing the intake manifold since I was doing a valve cleaning. I figured it was due. The flapper was still working fine with no play in it. The water pump is still the original. Had I known it was sitting right there under the manifold I would have done it too, but it is still fine.

Great video. I saw on your other video regarding the GTI water pump recall to also replace the seal for balance shaft/pulley bolt. I have a 2013 A5 2.0 TFSI CPMA engine. Do you recommend getting the seal replaced on my engine? It wasn't part of the water pump kit from Rein. They said in their video that they took your input when creating the kit to include the belt and pulley bolt, so I just want to double-check with you regarding the seal. Thanks!

This video helped me realize the REAL cause of the failure this water pump in my car. Short story is that if you use Gunk engine degreaser on this engine, it lays on top of the gasket, under the intake manifold where you can't rinse it off. Three days later the coolant all blows out where the gasket swells and bulges out the side of the housing. It took two water pumps to figure this out.

Hi ! 2010 vw Passat cc sport Tsi coolant temp sencer replcemant I spent 1 hour and i can't see the area of the sencer I saw the Water pump assembly on picture and the pace for sencer . I try to think if i have to take the intake manifold or what ! so i can get to it. the resun i want to change it because sometime yust dont idle up and down when cold . is driveabole but i want t get it out before i get stop somwhere on the rode. .

Recently my check engine light lit up and temp would rise 2 lines above regular temp but wouldn't go any higher. My coolant level was ok and I didn't see any leaks. Today my expansion tank cracked and car started overheating. I didn't have the chance to check the codes but I was told it was most likely the thermostat getting stuck. If so, would I have to remove and replace the whole water pump assembly to get to the thermostat or can it be replaced by itself?

Enjoyed your show thank you it was very informational and easy to understand. I have a few more questions about my Volkswagen I'm fixing it myself and it's all new to me but it'd be awesome to be able to ask questions if possible?

My vw tiguan heater is blowing cold air. could this issue be linked to a failing thermostat on a water pump ?

I'm working on installing OEM water pump #4 in 2 years on a 2009 A3 with 57K miles. They go out on me every 6 months (7K miles). My plastic keeps breaking at the bottom of the square section that attaches to the block. We replaced the cam cover sealant thinking maybe it was oil causing swelling, but no difference. Any advice? Could it be that the coolant is overheating and warping that area? Havent received any check engine lights or anything like that.

My check engine light came on and it said it was the temperature coolant sensor, is that the one located inside the water? water pump was replaced about 6k miles. Any helpful information would be great. Thank you

My 2103 A5 has this failed part my car is over heating. It’s been replaced in the past but I think they half assed it. I appreciate the information I’ll be sure to ask my mechanic to be cautious when replacing it.

Question? Getting a coolant low light when I add coolant it's fine, then when I turn the engine off and remove the cap it starts to flood the reservoir? Is this a problem with the pump also experienced some leaking while this happened around pump area???

However the degree of corporate malfeasance, the two faced "we will cooperate fully" and then do anything but, and the institutional arrogance are all reasons (compounded by my Eos experience) is why I'm turned off from the VW brand. The sophistication of the deiselgate shows that it wasn't a bad player or two, but a much larger intentional method to lie, cheat and steal. I won't reward that behavior. I know other companies lie cheat and steal, but when they are caught, and in fact big time, they should pay!

This is a good video, Thanks I have a 2012 Q5 (81K miles) with this engine and I removed the wp today. I had a huge water leak down the back of the motor and was finally able to track the source back to the pump. I will say it is rather difficult to get to. I do have a follow up question. How do I remove the pulley on the balance shaft that drives the pulley so I can replace this small belt with the new pump?

I have a VW Golf MK6 GTI water pump and thermostat housing is not leaking but I suspect the thermostat is buggered.

Any help would be appreciated.

Any opinions on the aftermarket all-metal water pump? I installed one made in china, so far working good, wish me luck!

My original water pump is still going strong at 200K miles - no leaks. However - since I have the intake off - I am replacing it with an aluminum unit. I was looking for the torque specs and found this video. Spinning the belt pulley on the pump - there is a slight roughness. But I am shocked the pump never once leaked.

I know that a water pump can be costly, and I have been looking at adding bars leak to my reservoir to help to temporarily get me through the next month. Is this a good idea? What can I do to help get me through these next few weeks when I have a collant leak? I'm almost certain I need a new water pump, but just dont have the money.

Hi Charles. I know that this is an old video, but I need your knowledge and help. I have an overheating issue with my passat b6 2.0 tsi, but i don't have any error code in vcds, no leaks (coolant bottle cap, or water pump, or any connection, by the way, the car use B-13 coolant). The fans work properly, turn on over 90 centigrades. After that the temp increase constantly and then I turn off the car before the 110 cluster mark. I don't either any cluster alert. And I never had seen my temp gauge over 90/92. That happened to one day to another, I didn't use my car for almost 3 weeks and started with this issue (I needed to start with another battery, because my car had lost battery charge). I'm very confused about this issue, any idea about the cause of this? I don't want to spend money on parts that won't solve my problem. I'll really appreciate any advice about it. Thanks and Regards.

I have a 2012 Tiguan 2.0 turbo manual. I was losing coolant, and found a leak at the water pump. I replaced the water pump with an oem part purchased at a vw dealership. Now the leak is no more, but the newest problem is that the engine light is coming on and saying the engine is running cold. The dash temp gauge does not move at all even when engine is hot. Lower radiator hose is cold, upper get hot as normal. Thought there might be air in the system, have applied pressure to the lower hose, it bubbles in the tank, but nothing seems to work to get the temp gauge to work or the lower hose to carry warm coolant. Car runs fine, no overheating or other issues that I am aware of. Any suggestions?

I've worked on a tiguan WP with a cracked housing twice = ~130k & 165k miles. Is there a proper way to check balance shaft vibration? Opinions about other factors that make these pumps fail besides the reasons mentioned in the video?

Does the upper radiator hose connect to the top connector or the bottom connector with the thermostat?

I have only just replaced on of these on my Audi A3....I purchase a new unit and o rings etc from a local Audi dealer. The old pump had a small leak where pump bolts to the plastic housing... Hope this pump unit last longer than the old one.

Also, all the suspension components in Toyotas are cheap CRAP. After only 100,000 miles, my insurance actually totalled my entire car just because ALL the suspension components were failing {even though the car was in cosmetically brand-new condition}. I will NEVER purchase or associate with a Toyota product ever again.

I have 72k miles and have recently had rad and rad support changed from an accident. could the pump failure have been related to that? have you had any older tsi pump failures? or was mine just a life span issue?

+Rupert White It may have been, but these pumps leaking are common enough that I would say no. More often they leak because oil has leaked on them

I see mechanics remove the whole front bumper of the car to remove the pump? it is really neccesary, or thereis others ways of doing it? please let me know, cheers from ontario ca
