Whistle sound from GTI engine... Water Pump Failures

[mfl]

sorry to bring up an old thread guys,

just wanted to see if the replacement water pump fixed the pitch noise problem permanently for you guys?

i noticed some people have had multiple water pump replacements, wondering if VW have brought out a proper revision?

As mine, never made a noise I can't tell you, but the 2 week wait for the water pump, was explained by the dealer as they had to wait for a revised model wp as VWA had instructed them to stop fitting the old model they had in stock. Whether or not it fixes the problem only time will tell.

Luck of draw, probably comes into it as well. Mine is a 2009 build. The 1st water-pump was replaced in 2010 at 15k and the 2nd wp at 45k in late 2012, the 2nd wp being the revised design. Done 51k now car going well, but then the new manifold helps.
