They really cram a lot in that engine compartment. The only thing better than the workmanship in this video is the narration. Great job, Leek.

It ain’t a car if it ain’t all packed together lol. Thanks bro

[@wyattoneable]

I like this format. Good camera angles and your good at keeping the commentary interesting. :) So much plastic on cars these days. I'm not use to that. Have a fantastic 2020 Leek.

[@Leekautorepair]

My mechanic is gonna do this job for me. But it's taking a week and a half for the water pump to arrive in the mail. Should it take this long for the part to come in?

[@ASSOpid]

Dang do you have to do all of this just to replace a bad thermostat?

[@seriknoserikn8109]

👍

Hey Leek, how many miles were on this, do you remember? I am a tech but not for VW.. my water pump in my 2016 Sportwagen (1.8) is leaking at only 48,000 miles. Never worked on a car that had a bad water pump with that many miles,but then again I've never seen one that had a plastic housing mixed with the thermostat :)

[@dabassassasin3920]

Same happened to me I have an Audi A3 with the ea888 motor and the pump went out at 40k

[@dancar02]

I have a VW Passat 2016 SE and my pump just went out at 42600 miles.

[@miguelurbina6151]

Mine went out early as well. I guess its common

[@alanw5812]

I don't know why everyone made this pump replace video need to remove manifold, may be they all follow other youtuber did it wrong, old model need to,but new model electronics thermostat don't need anymore, I made a video on my TH-cam just today,only coolant fan ,water pump and starter motor, remove starter because I can turn flywheel to put the new belt on, only 2 hours total.

[@Leekautorepair]

U right u don’t have to remove the manifold but that’s what VW wants you to do and if it’s under warranty they expect every part/seal to be install as it is already billed out. They guys I worked with says the same thing til the plastic union didn’t line back up correctly and cause a coolant leak. Just take the manifold off, only an extra 15-20 mins

[@alanw5812]

@@Leekautorepair that each warranty finish they still charge peoples extra money

[@checoarias7918]

1.4 brother

[@sergeihanush2262]

don't need to remove intake manifold

[@Leekautorepair]

U right but I do things my way. Don’t encourage people to get stuck working blindly and installing the union on the engine oil cooler

[@atubebuff]

Serious? Other choices are from below or putting front in service position?

[@checoarias7918]

Under the intake pain in the ass

[@checoarias7918]

Worse engine in VW history
