anyone still onthere original water pump?

[mac456]

just got my mk4 1.8t.

just wondering how many people are still on it? and your millage?

i want to get mine done as soon as i can but its hard to spend the money when the cambelt was only done 10k ago

I waited until my water pump went    Managed to get about 31k out of the original one, and that took 10 years.

I think mine has the original at 74k miles.

lol! was that the total millage of the car? or what you had done init?

my millage is on 103000.

im thinking of just doing the same. can it cause any damage if you turn it of instantly?

Car had 31k on it when my water pump went, leaving me stranded at the bottom of an underground multi storey car park!  Got it replaced along with the cambelt etc for about 330 notes.  Cars on 32,600 now with no problems.

mine went like 2 months ago, and it was 76k on clock 

[mac456]

well, looking through all the paperwork it had one done at 66k by vw, how long should i expect this one to last? 37000 miles ago

will it be a uprated one as well?

replaced mine just before 100K - only replaced it as i was replacing the cambelt so thought better safe than sorry
