Two problems related to water pump have been reported for the 2012 Volkswagen GTI. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My car is displaying the same simptoms listed at sevice code 19k5 but vw is refusing to fix the problem. I talked to a representative from vw and she said my car is not included. Please any help or advise 407-790-5101. The water pump is leaking.
Water pump failed on 3 separate occasions. Had the fuel pump fail, air intake, excess carbon build up on valves, and now total engine failure. The rocker arm for number 3 cylinder broke in half causing total engine failure. Vehicle was in motion during all of the events. Vw won't assist in repairs even though the 2. 0 tsi engine has a well documented history of engine failure when the timing chain tensioner fails. They won't fix it unless it is under warranty. If you have this model of engine get it checked before you are out an engine.
