Water Pump on way out
Comments

Just put my partners VW in for the cam belt change. Said if I wanted the water pump done then they would just charge me for pump - no labour as they were already doing the cam belt. Given that I hear the odd rumbling about VW water pumps thought may as well have it done at the same time0

it is advisable to do it on most cars when the timing belt is being done,as you have found out theres not much more of a cost,maybe £30 for the pump and a few quid for the coolant?...work permit granted!0 -

get it done then keep a very close eye on it, they are crap on vws
badly designed junk0 -
I find it incredible that any motor manufacturer would drive ancillaries off a cambelt. Its such a critical component.
I've just recently done the cambelt on my VW Golf. The water pump isnt driven off the cambelt in any way.0
