Last week my engine management light came on on my 14 plate Gti so I took it to my pals garage and plugged it in and it seems the electronic water pump has gone (temp usually runs at 90 it was fluctuating up to100/110)
It seems we can only get a genuine pump from VW at around £310 plus vat.
Has anyone else had this problem? It seems a common thing when you start having a search but for a 26k miles 5 year old car looks like it may be another VW special chocolate engine part.
