Really good video, just replaced the water pump last week. On our 2013 Tiguan, we could not take the intake off, we found a intake support bracket that needed to be removed. Its hidden, it connects between the throttle body and fuel rail on the intake and the other end bolts onto the engine. Its also tough to get at. Once we found the support bracket, everything else was per the video..
Awesome, was quoted $1500 by the dealer, that didn't sound right so I looked into how to do it myself. They were also trying to talk me into getting a new car due to mine being at 150k miles and being paid off for awhile. I had only ever changed my oil before and was nervous to really take anything apart. I was shocked by how easy this process was, with the hardest part for me just being how to unclip the electric connectors without damaging them. Bought an aluminum pump for $70, decent ratchet and the needed bits for $80, new manifold gasket for $20, new coolant for $30. This learning process was great, bought the repair manual as well. I am going to keep my Tiguan going as long as possible, forget about a new car!

Thanks for the video, but you forgot about a bolt that stabilizes the intake that will not allow you to take the intake off. Killed me figuring it out. I was pulling my hair out man lol.
@@brucewilcox4135 there is a bolt that connects the stabilizer to the engine block. Thats where I was able to get to it. Be careful when you take the intake out. I ended up yanking the thermostat wires out of the sensor in the water pump. Had to replace the sensor harness lol.
@@brucewilcox4135 I don't get notifications for RUclips comments for some reason. I just happened to go to the tube and see your comment. Hope you get it fixed.
This is where I've been stuck too. From reading on forums, a lot of mechanics and even dealerships will not put that stabilizer bracket back on because it's a pain. On mine there is a nut that I could reach under the manifold, but that doesn't do any good because the bolt won't pull out of the bracket. I need ot use a #10 square d bit to pull out the bolt at the bottom of the bracket, which looks like it will be something I'll have it do from underneath when I get the right bit. Some people also said that they have ripped the coolant wires unintentionally by having that bracket snag then when pulling out the intake manifold. Hopefully it comes out smooth whne get the #10 triple square. The but under the top of the bracket is 1/2 or 13mm, but i think you can just remove the bolt at the bottom of the bracket.
Thanks for the video I really appreciate it. Remember to take of the manifold support bracket. Wasted a lot of time wondering why the manifold didn't come off after I watch the video. Center bottom of the manifold 13mm nut top of the bracket. Bottom of bracket connected to the block by torx bolt.

Are there o-rings on the fuel rail where it connects to the engine. I am going to attempt this repair and I am concerned about a fuel leak after I reinstall the intake manifold.
@YOUCANIC Thanks so much for this well documented and thorough walkthrough ! Saving the wife, newborn, and me $1,500 from PepBoys! Chapmen VW Dealer didn't even have the courtesy to return my 2 calls for parts and labor, pathetic! Plus I got a quality cast aluminum Dorman part for $200! Four questions please. 1) What/How to clean the injectors? 2) Rub. Alcohol ok to clean gasket mating surfaces? 3) Vasolean ok as lube for good gasket seal? 4) Is my 2017 Tiguan 2.0 TSI even diff than 2016 (I haven't noticed)?
Thanks so much for this video, instruction very clear and I was able to do the whole water pump replacement and assemble everything back in my Tiguan 2017, nevertheless after finishing and trying to start the car, it cranks but it does not fire up, no matter for how long I tried the car does not fire . I have checked all connection and pretty confidence everything is plug back correctly, Does anyone went through similar experience or do you have any tips, thanks!!

You probably already replace yours but for any future people. this is the aluminum one. Go with the rein brand as it's made in Germany. Brand REIN Part number WPU0016
thanks for video In my case we are going to replace the chain set the pump is still fine. Is it wise to replace the entire pump with housing or just the pump itself? And is INA pump ( 130$) a good one for replace it ? Or need to pay 50 dollar more for Hepu ?
Thanks for your question! We recommend replacing whatever parts are needed to keep your vehicle in the best condition.

I was just quoted at a vw dealership 2700 total which includes a little over 1k for parts 1400 for labor and tax. They are charging 199 per hour and I'm past my warranty. The parts do include the water pump/thermostat unit and the other "big" items were 4 gaskets that were 66 bucks each and a separate gasket of 66 bucks. The unit cost a little over 500 and 4 repair kits that cost 140. A union and a sealring as well. Is this a reasonable price I would be paying for a 2017 tiguan? Again they say there will be 7 hours of labor involved. The end total price also includes the diagnosis that cost me about 280 which included a 4 day rental from the dealer. I ask this because that is what their advisor quoted me, and not sure if the advisor truly consulted with the mechanic. Really would like to know your thoughts or to anybody that would know.
should have changed out the water pump belt since you already took everything apart! Never leave old belts when changing these components! Thats my rule of thumb
I've done probably 25 water pumps. I've never changed that belt. It is such a pain to replace it. If it's not cracked and broken looking. I leave it. It's not a high tension belt.

What does it cost at a garage.
@@Carol-kq8ejVW Dealership quoted me $1500 for changing the water pump.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge sir. Bless you
Wonderful job!
Once the water pump was back in,and the injectors where connected, was there a plug from the wiring harness that plugs into the water pump?

Car runs now and leak has been fixed
Brother, a question, do you recommend leaving the original temperature sensor or replacing it?
why isnt just the impeller and bearing housing changed why the hole housing
Anything needs to do after the replacement? For example, using software to match the new pump to the car?

Engineers couldn't have put this in a tighter spot if they wanted to
Right? Typical German engineering.
For a wearable part, they sure put that thing in the most difficult place possible. Dealer wants $1,900 to replace!
Dealer wanted $600 for waterpump and $1,500 labor🤬 I got the whole metal pump on ebay for $100 and labor $500😂
