Hi, I am still looking for a 12-14 used GTI, and I am just aware of the water pump leaking issue. After seeing this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0kaXT7sMRg and reading the comments, I found it is a very common issue for 12-14 models, even for cars with very low mileages. I found many people had their 2nd or even 3rd water pumps before 20k - 30k miles.
I dont mind replace a leaking water pump, but having an endless leaking and replacing another 2 or 3 pumps really make me hesitate to touch the GTI. My question is that so far are there any solutions to fix the water pump leaking permanently? Are there any official recall or permanent solution? Are there any damage to the other parts (e.g., engine) when water is leaking? Thanks!
