you's know?? i'm wondering if these failures are the SAME in other platform 2.0T engines??
such as audi, tiguan and all other VW/AUDI car line that has the same engine???
cause the #'s alone in just this forum which is pretty much MKVI's are pretty BIG...but i wonder how BIG it really is ALL ACROSS 2.0T plaftorm

Yeah I really don't mind the WP problem since both times they had it done in about 5 hours of dropping the car off. My only concern is what its going to cost if it keeps happening after my warranty expires.... I even have the 80k mile warranty but still do I really want to pay $600 every so months on a water pump? VW really needs to extend the warranty on the pump to 120k at least just like the intake manifold.

oh, fuck i TOO am on the original pump and i have the same issue....what a coinkidink....
although i'm at 40K miles...and i too have that smelling coolant on the right side of the engine bay by the radiator hoses...so i TOO don't knwo that that's all about, YET the pump is OK with no leaks or coolant smell from there...
the coolant in the bottle is where it should be and it's not dropping....
:iono:Welcome to the club. My cars currently in the shop getting the third water pump installed.
The original pump just leaked but the second completely failed and drained all coolant in a few minutes. Thankfully I was aware and realized what happened without driving it with no coolant.

Wow finally someone else with the same issue! The dealer checked out my waterpump and said it was fine. Im thinking theres either a crack in the radiator or a pin hole in one of the hoses and the coolant is evaporating.
