Had my first pump replaced under warranty a few months ago and I'm low on coolant again [emoji58]

Based on similar threads posted, looks like I may be in for a water pump replacement as well. Noticed some fresh pink fluid spots on the garage floor over the last day or so. Just purchased the car a week ago, certified pre-owned (thank goodness). Just over 10k miles on the OD.

Good luck! Wonder if anyone else had pursued legal action, and if so, what was the outcome.
As a side note, I'm also curious as to what the warranty replacement rates are between "AT" and "BB" pumps.

I have had experience with attorneys and car issues (specifically seat belts). My guess as soon as your lawyer writes the letter requesting replacement or reimbursement, that is exactly what you will get!
I'm betting the hassle will be minimal. More people should contact a specialty lawyer if they have had repeated problems like we do with the water pump. You will be surprised how easy it is. Normally, the auto manufacturer will also pay the attorneys fee's.
My guy didn't even ask for money up front, he reviewed the case and took it because he knew he would get what he asked for.

Best of luck. Interested to see how this plays out.
Went out to start the car this morning and coolant light was on. Dropped it off and they replaced my pump for the first time. I only have 28k miles on the car. Service rep says the pump seems to fail after 18k miles.
So when is VW going to start paying us for lost time and money? Had my injector go a month outside of 3 yr warranty and had to have it towed. I'm lucky this time I topped off the coolant and drove it in.

Write VWOA about this scenario and tell them the issue of lost time and ask for compensation. They won't just give it to you.
BTW, a fellow MK6 owner I met told me they did just that, and was given compensation. I think you just have to be professional about approaching them on this subject to be taken seriously. My .02.
Good luck
