Hi everyone,


A bit of backstory: we've owned this car since 2020 (second owner), purchased it for 44k with 40k on the clock, and haven't had a single issue until now (72,000km). Two weeks ago, my partner, who primarily drives the car, called me to say the engine light had come on,...

Hello guys,
This is my second post and I’d like to hear what you guys think about replacing water pump and it’s housing.

My drive is 2018 Passat 132 TSI model.
On the drive way home, I got warning signs on dashboard says CHECK Your coolant level and the local mechanics...

After some fairly major and expensive repairs this year (see details below), our Caravelle is losing coolant (again), and I don't know where it is going.
It is occasionally blowing white exhaust smoke, I cannot see coolant leaking from anywhere, and it is not going into the engine oil (not milky...

Hi - newbie from Perth here joined because our 118TSI convertible has just started the famous supercharger squeal AFTER having the water pump replaced...the replacement unit was a Geba so can only assume it was an old one from somewhere.

Looking to replace and upgrade my water pump soon. 155kw tsi. Who has a good recommendation? Maybe get away from the plastic body and go aluminium.

30,000km service found low coolant. On further inspection the mechanic noted the plastic water pump is warped and may have a slow leak.

now booked in to VW I will update this tread as things develop.

did some digging,...

I have a 2014 GTI, purchased new, which I’ve had a TON of issues over the years, all covered under warranty and goodwill.

Some of the significant issues I had with the vehicle 3-4 years ago were with the cooling system. The water pump failed several times resulting in the vehicle overheating,...

Hey guys. So i've had my water pump crap itself. Went to VW and was quoted $900 just for the part, which is steep. Tried to find a non genuine part, problem is everywhere is showing a different part. Supercheap auto and repco websites have like 3 different pumps, and i don't know which one it actually...

Hi All,
Just wanted to get advice on a repair quote I've had for my Mk7 Golf R.

The check engine light is coming on & my workshop ran a VCDS diagnostic to confirm that the Colant Thermostat/Regulator Pump Assembly needs replacing.

I can hear it is making some "stuttering"...

Hi have a few bits

mk2/3 power steering rack (rebuilt) with new tie rods and tie rod ends as new condition $300 ono

mk3 starter motor $50 ono

mk3 2.0 full hose kit including water pump and timing belt, aircon and alternator belts $300 ono

...

My car is due for a 105K service, and when I rang up to book at the VW dealer, they quoted around $1800 for the service, timing belt and water pump.

Now my car is out of warranty, so I'm hesitant to pay that much for this service.

I've read a few positive posts here about...

Hi, can someone please suggest a supplier for a decent quality timing belt kit and water pump for a T4 2.5 TDI?
I just purchased a T4 and while it seems to have been well maintained I am having trouble determining when the belt was last replaced - TIA

Hello Guys,

I have a small problem with my coolant temperature.

The electric coolent pump in my VR6 wont stop! how wierd is that? the 5amp fuse in the engine-bay was blown so i replaced it, but the next time i stoped the car, the aux water pump (i didnt even know it had one! lol) kept running, even after the thermo-fan shut off.
