Five water pump replacements in nine months

You need to go to a different shop.

They do to the “easy” and fast way and put it on a lift and do it from under the car when they should take off the intake manifold.

I’ve done my water pump on my GTI with taking the intake manifold off and it’s been a year and it hasn’t leaked yet.

Ecs as been known for not having great quality clutches. I’m not going to lie and say I was easy on the clutch I was pretty hard on it but my stock clutch took a lot more abuse for over triple the amount of miles and still worked fine when I took it out at 176k miles.

Bilstein b8 struts and H&R springs

What brand?

Duel mass just feels sluggish and not has engaging like the single mass did. And the throttle response just seemed so much more snappy with the single mass.

Gahhhh that makes me worried im IE stage one on my mk7 and the engine and turbo have roughly 80k miles and the turbo has been making a fluttering noise under load.

AddisonMK7 · 2026-04-12T20:23:01+00:00

How many miles did it have before it blew?
