Water Pump class action

[lenny555]

Gday

Ive contacted a legal firm who may be interested in fighting the ongoing water pump issue that we have in the Golf, is there anyone in this group that has had to replace the water pump in their Tiguan at their cost?

Yesterday I had VW service my 2018 Tiguan with ~35,000km, about 2 months out of warranty and they found the thermostat will need to be replaced as there is leaking coolant..

Not looking forward to my next chat with them, just left after paying for the service and will do some research before I worry about the thermostat.

I haven't had to replace one in my Tiguan yet, but I've heard mixed stories about VW's water pump reliability. Some folks have had theirs go pretty early on, which can be frustrating.

I noted that the 2nd hand 2018 we bought a couple of months at 80,000kms had the water pump replaced at 50,000kms. Was told it was a pretty regular thing to happen when I brought it up.

If they are going to charge you dont get it done at VW they charge through the nose. I got both changed for $1600 and they will charge you $2500 for both i also got a part with a 4 year warranty as ive heard of replacemnt ones failing just out of the warranty.

Sign up using the link if you havent already.

Where did you get yours done?

I had my 2018 Passat done today at Pacortech. $1495 including water pump/thermostat/union, coolant, and new coolant header tank and cap (without the silica bag installed).

David mentioned they do a heap of them, and I suspect they have it down to a fine art and could do it in their sleep.

Thanks mate. Will get in touch with them
