The water pump with the metal impellor is that from the dealers aswell or do they sell you the plastic one?

They sell plastic ones which are now fine

vw sell the plastic ones, but apparently it's a different/improved composite that doesn't weaken like the old ones did. Unfortunately i don't know anyone who's tried one of the revised ones for more than about 20k miles so the jury is still out on that one. I still recommend the metal impellor ones which you can get from german swedish or central autos.. those types of places. They're usually cheaper too.

True though just change it at every cambelt change IMO
