Volkswagen water pumps keeps failing. I had the first water pump fail at 61902 miles replaced on 22 Mar 2017. I then had to have another Volkswagen water pump put in my car replaced by a Volkswagen dealership at 82,229 miles on 4 Jan 2019. I am now back at the Volkswagen dealer for yet another new water pump for my car at 108000. These Volkswagen water pumps should not be failing like they are and unfortunately I have found no 3rd party water pump to install in my make and model of car to try to avoid these numerous breakdowns. Not only are the numerous water pump failures expensive to replace, I am afraid the failure of these Volkswagen water pumps may lead to a catastrophic engine failure. Unfortunately, the failure of these Volkswagen water pumps are posted all over the internet.

I was driving and the epc light came on. At the dealership I was told the car needed a carbon cleaning which is a $900 job. Being that my car is only 5 years old and only has 40K miles I was shocked. After doing research and talking to the dealership I learned that all 2012 bettles with this direct fuel injection design have this problem. It is systematic issue within the design of the fuel injection that causes the coils to fail and the car to need a $900 carbon cleaning done every few years. High grade gasoline or/and fuel injection cleaner does not help. I called the VW and they refused to do anything about this problem.

The contact owns a 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer due to the check engine light illuminating. The mechanic was able to retrieve a fault code on the vehicle for the exhaust camshaft. The vehicle was not repaired. On another occasion, while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the exhaust camshaft fractured and caused a blockage of the exhaust fuel leaving the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The contact stated that the vehicle was under warranty when the check engine light warning illuminated; however, the dealer failed to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

I have only owned this vehicle for under a month. Noticeable lag from dead start as well as low speeds and trying to accelerate.
