Water pump
(1/1)
mike.keon.5:
I’m new here.
So I have a 2015 golf sportwagen TDI 6-speed 107,600
Water pump seized around 65000 and my mech warned me of interference motor and that it was a good move that I towed to the shop as it looked as the pump jumped a tooth on the belt.
Well fast forward and I now have a “new” motor because at highway speed the week before Christmas I lost power and blew the motor.
Never had a chance.
Any thoughts?
Not really sure what cause the failure.

Did they just replace the pump and check the timing? Or did they replace the belt as well. Jumping a tooth shouldn't be a big deal on a worn, 65000 belt, but it may have nicked it somewhat and it just let go under a constant load.
It was time for a new belt at 120 K was it not? Or is the replacement interval less than that?
mike.keon.5:
No they did replace the belt also.
I’m skeptical about the water pump from the factory and was wondering if anyone had similar issue(s)
