One of the best videos I've seen so far. Getting by without removing the intake and having to screw with the injectors. Huge money saver. Great job!
I appreciate the feedback! Thanks 👍
Agreed. I recently did my manifold and the job isn’t hard, And my brother kept telling me to just pull the manifold because I was confident I could get it done quick. Found this video and now I don’t have to replace any gaskets etc off the manifold and it’s saving a ton of time and money. Thank you, great work!
yeah this is how audi/vw techs do it anyways
Thank you so much for this video. Just replaced the water pump on my wife’s 2011 Tiguan. Couldn’t have done without this video. Got some picks after watching and definitely needed.
One thing I didn’t see that I came across.. dropping the final water pump bolt behind the water pump and removing it again to retrieve it. That was super fun and everyone should experience that.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was able to do my own water pump with no prior experience thanks to your easy to follow steps. My first job on my own car and I was so happy to see it run!
I'm having issues with putting the belt on the water pump - any tips or tricks??
many thanks in advance!!
Back for an update I successfully was able to remove old and install new water pump. In 4 hours. Granted I didn’t know much of what I was doing or looking at, most I’ve ever done to my car is intake and down pipe myself, I was able to successfully do this job without removing intake manifold and every step in the video was used. Much appreciated will be sharing to my local tampa bay gti page 🔥🔥🤙🏼
Good to hear my man!
This video blew up! Feels good to know I helped out so many of my vw/audi viewers! If you have any other video/diy suggestions, let me know!
Same process for thermostat?
This is by far the best video I've seen on how to do this job. You saved me a lot of green brotha. Thanks so much from Colorado!
Your video helped me out a lot man. I would just suggest maybe including some more video on the harder to reach bolts. I'm halfway thru replacing the water pump on my mk6 thanks to you.
Joel, thanks a lot! I replaced mine this week with this video. Saved me more than a grand (!!$$$!!) I have a 2013 VW CC (manual). My motor is set up a little different for some reason but THIS VIDEO HELPED SO MUCH. Only thing I had issues with was that damn triple square bracket (it was on my motor) and that GOD DAMN THROTTLE BODY PIPE!. Holy shit was that thing on there. Here's hoping it holds together longer than the 10k yours did before changing that gasket on the T/Y pipe.
I'm looking for a video that shows the proper way to flush the coolant system now. There's a bunch of videos that show half ass ways of doing it (flushing with tap water🤦🏻♂️, not fully flushing the whole system, ect) I've seen previous and newer model step by steps straight from VW but I can't find one for the Mk6. The VW officials show some vacuum system needed to do other models the right way. Any help on the subject would be appreciated but if not, I really appreciate the help man. It was a hell of a job. Not taking off the intake manifold helped a ton.
@@23omorales Dude, that bolt above the clip on the water pump was a FUCKING NIGHTMARE. I lost the damn thing in the abyss and had to pull the whole thing off again looking for it. My magnet just couldn't reach it. Is yours still holding together? Did you use blue locktight?
Highly recommend your workflow. There are a lot of folks out there advising to take the manifold off which is just plain nuts! Many thanks.
Thanks for your comment my man! Much appreciated
Best tutorial on removing this VW 2.0 TSI I have found
Joel you are a real DYI dude, I love how simple you explain things. Thanks
I just finished this on my wife's Eos. If you've got big hands be prepared for a bitch of time getting into some of those areas. The tools he's recommending in this video are pretty damn essential. I didn't have all of them so I ended up having to get my wife to reach into some of the areas I just couldn't get my hands into. Either way, this video helped.
This video helped me the most out of any I saw on YT, and not having to take the intake manifold off was a huge plus. It was a pain but I managed to do the job with just basic extensions. Thanks man!
Dude, I commend you on your patience and dexterity. I couldn't do it without taking the manifold off.
THANK YOU. Seriously, your video made the job so much easier.
Thanks so much. Needed to replace my oil cooler gasket but couldn’t find any good diy info. This got me right to the oil cooler and saved hours guessing and hassle! Great video!
You video is very helpful! Made removal of the old pump 10 times quicker and gave me 20 times the confidence!
Literally the most helpful video ever in existence. Thank you for your help!
Thank you! I just replaced the water pump on my wife's 13 Beetle Turbo and your video was spot on! Thank you so much for putting this together.
Hey Joel, just wanted to send you some feedback that this was one of the best demonstrations that I have ever watched. Your commentary, and tips and tricks - just perfect. Well done mate...
Great video man.
I only needed it to see the wire placement for the Coolant Temp Sensor because mine broke off somehow.
I've watched so many videos & yours did the trick. Thanks again.
Absolutely the best!!! Thanks for taking the time to do this and be such a great teacher too!
Thank you! This job went way easier than I expected thanks to you.
Awesome! Glad I could help 👍
Had to do this again... this video is the best
Thank you so much!!!
Excellent video. I strongly recommend it. It allowed me changing the pump without having to remove the intake manifold, which is the standard procedure. One of my pipes had an extra bracket and took a little creativity to get it out in front of the fans, but I could get the job done in my garage, and just lifting the car on a couple of stands!
I need to do this in mine. 80k now. I will be doing a valve cleaning as well but if not. This was the way to go. Nice job.
Great video! Easy to understand, informative, and most important without extra bs. Good job 👍
This is a GREAT TROUBLE saver and labor!!!!! I have replaced the intake already and do not want to do that again! The screws are a pain to remove takes hours to do but Absolutely the BEST WAY TO DO IT!!!! JUST BE PATIENT!
Thanks for this man, will make the job a whole lot easier
I just wanted to thank you for this video. My 2012 GTI has been singularly the most unreliable car I have ever owned. It has become a matter of principle to keep it running and I appreciate any shortcuts I can find. This is now the fourth water pump on a car that is maintained beyond belief. German engineering my ass. Thanks, again!
The oem plastic ones are junk. Did you put an aluminum one on?
@@jakobbecker6435 It is a plastic one and I am sure I will be wishing very soon that I installed the aluminum one!
@@powershift1 I'm having issues with putting the belt on the water pump - any tips or tricks??
many thanks in advance!!
@@brajabraja625 I angled the pump so the gear was in the belt then carefully positioned the pump correctly on the block. It took patience, but it worked well.
Big up my dude I had to only change the thermostat on a 2010 Gti I did it a little differently most work was done from the bottom but your video helped me a lot. Respect 💯👍💪
Doing my thermostat today! Thanks man!
Bro thank you!!! This is the best video for this job on RUclips...
Thank you 👍
Good video, I just did my 2,0t TSI. I had considerably more cuts on my arm than you. Lol.
I did follow your procedure and it worked good.
Thanks
i've probably watched 24 videos of different people doing this job, most in shops. you're the best by far.
Hey! Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated 🙏
@@JoelsDriveway getting that belt back on is almost impossible. Almost. If you hadn't done it, I would have said it couldn't be done. I've been at it for 45min and it finally seated!
Best video tutorial ever.
Thanks man!!!
About to attempt this in the weekend using your video, thank you!
Great video bro. Appreciate the time and effort that you have put into it.
Well done buddy. Thanks for your troubles. You've been very helpful.
Man, this is a great tutorial, I don't know why it's so damn far down, thanks for the video!
Glad I found this video. I was about to pull my intake to do the water pump. gonna try your way before pulling the intake.
Awesome! Good luck on the repair 👍
Bro you're a life saver. It took me about 5 hours from beginning to end and you saved me 700$. Can't thank you enough 👍👊
5 hours? He removed his with 1 hand in 15 minutes bro? Where was the difficult part? I'm about to do mine
@@rmetanes how did it go?
Process works really well! Thanks for the video 👍👍👍👍
Finally made time to do this. Video was the most useful one without removing the intake manifold. Replaced upper and lower hose assemblies at the same time along with the plastic coolant pipe and auxiliary pump. Hook and pick tools made removing hose and electrical connections much easier. The L torx was useful removing the hidden throttle body t30 but found it easier to reinstall using a 1" wobble extension with the long straight t30. The long straight t30 was a lifesaver compared to using a standard socket t30.
Don't forget to clip in the boost sensor on reassembly... Will give you code P0238....
Sounds like the repair went well 👍
Good to hear!
You're a lifesaver bro
Thanks heaps bro, just did mine, great instructions and easy to follow
Just finished mines with your vid. Thank you
Thanks for the awesome video my bro! Because the water pump is relatively easy but no one shows the thermostat at least for those hard to get screws on whats the easiest way without taking off the whole front of the car. Doing my 2016 vw jetta 1.8l and i was tryna figure out what parts to remove besides the onbious hoses etc.. Got urself a sub! At 55k it failed...lol
Awesome video, just picked up a 2013 gti and I'm looking to replace all the plastic parts that are known to fail , PC and water pump top of my list , and this video made the job that at first glance seemed to be a nightmare to being not to bad , thank you bro
Nice! Thats why I'm here 👍
@@JoelsDriveway where did u buy the aluminum water pump i have a 2012 gti
@@alexg9163 Check Urotuning.com or ECStuning.com. Grab a kit with new mounting screws.
Nice video, i was going to pull whole intake, glad i saw this instead!!
Very detailed video and bang on with the steps. One step to share is the replacement of the o-rings on the water pump hoses found on the inside of each hose. TY!
Thanks for the tip!
Which hoses??
Thanks for the vid! I just replaced my water pump this weekend. Still a PITA to reseat the new water pump, but I did it.
Good to hear! Glad i could help. Yea, putting the new one in is hard to explain but its not impossible.
just want to say cheers mate for this video I needed to attempt my water pump replacement on my VW CC 2.0Tsi and this video allowed me to do it without taking IM off after just over two hours all swapped over no leaks. cheers bro now a big fan! and subbing
I'm having issues with putting the belt on the water pump - any tips or tricks??
many thanks in advance!!
@@brajabraja625 Hiya mate sorry for the late reply if you've done it hope it was a success if you haven't try locating the union that fits into the oil cooling radiator on the left then while you have some slack and the pump sloping downwards to the belt that's when I popped it only the drive wheel and then tip it horizontal while locating the pump onto the Two locating pins on the engine block (have a torx screw ti quickly finger it to the head to it all doesn't drop away) Most important! Make sure the pump has located well on them two pins when I replaced my pump I found that the plastic right next to the seal had chipped which is what causes the possible leak. Good luck with it message back if your still struggling 👍
@@stuartclarke9241 I've managed to get it on. Appreciate your time and effort to reply
@@brajabraja625 No worries 👍
Thanks for this. I was thinking about pulling the intake manifold to do mine because every time I try to short-cut a job I make things more difficult, but seeing you do it like this while holding a camera with one hand makes me think that maybe it’s not so bad to do it this way.
It really isn't that bad with the right tools. I've taken the manifold off before and this way is much easier.
Thanks for this video, made the job really easy. 😁
Thanks Joel! Great video! Just changed the water pump on my 2012 MK6 GTI. Was easy with your tutorial!
Awesome bro! 😁
What’s the torque specs on water pump mounting bolts?😁
@@adamkostro777 I know this is late but for anyone else wondering it’s 9nm
Thank you for this! You saved me some money. Keep up the good work!
Will do!
Thank you for this, I’m about to use your video for an install.
Hope the video helps. Good luck on the install 👍
I found this video as I'm staring at the space my intake manifold used to be.😐
It's actually not that bad taking the intake manifold off, it seems like more work, but it makes life easier when getting the water pump off.
Great video. Good explanation on important steps. Subscribed!
Thank you brother for the enlightenment 💪🏼💪🏼
Great video, Sir!
did you really take out your water pump for fun as you already replaced it? lmao thats dedication. but really good video bro, easy to follow and if/when my water pump fails, I'll be watching this to help me thru it
OMG... THANK YOU so much! Your video helped me so much! I purchased the aluminum pump from ECS tuning as you did and it fit my friend's VW 2009 EOS 2.0T TSI. When you re-attach the pump, your comment "Go slow, this is not impossible" helped me. It seemed impossible. It took me about 50 minutes to get it on, but after doing the steps in the exact order you suggested, I finally got it on.
You're welcome Gary! Thanks for the helpful tips as well 👍
Really appreciate the video. Helped me alot!!!
Thanks for this bro! Great video!!
thanks for video, its very helpful.. have exactly same 12 GLI car and same issues. hopefully I will fix it this week. VW dealer(not all location) giving for all parts get %20 off purchase at online store until may 23 so water pump $262 dollars now :))..
Bro thanks I have a cc and it will help alot
Excellent job.
Thank you SOOO much!!!! You’ve helped me a ton
Best video so far
Highly recommended
Yes, I used your suggestion on ECS supplier.
Great Vid, about to do this tomorrow on my mk6 gti
How did it go??
@@rmetanes wasn't hard, there is a bracket that hold the intake manifold that is a bitch to get off. But other than that it was fairly easy but time consuming
Life saver, thank you!!!
Hey, Michaela, if you see this comment when you watch this video, I love you, and I also love your tiny hands. You're my best friend and you saved my life... in a manner of speaking.
thats my sister bro
Great video!
Hey Joel! Thank you for the video. I hope your video helps me with a leak in my 2012 CC Sport. There aren't any videos for a water pump replacement on a CC. The ones that are available are all showing removing the intakes and a huge mess. I wanna save some $ and looking for something that I can follow to the last dot.
Excellent! Thx 4 the info
really well explained. thanks a lot.
im still fighting with one striped t30. i cant take it off.
I'm assuming by now, a year later, that you got the problem figured out. If you haven't, I highly suggest extractor sockets! Can get them in all kinds of sizes anywhere from 4mm to even up to 50mm in some hardware / auto parts stores. Excellent addition to your tool kit and have never failed me on extracting a stripped bolt or screw
At 4:50 in the video, before you take out the bolts for the throttle body, I found it beneficial to remove and unbolt the two plastic tubes and hoses that are about 1 inch in diameter that are just beneath the throttle body. This will allow you to access the 4th bolt on the throttle body much easier. The hoses impede from using wrenches on the throttle body and other parts on the water pump. Keep this in mind as you put everything back together. Attach all four bolts for the throttle body before you reattach the two plastic coolant tubes. The 4th bolt in the back left of the throttle body is the hardest bolt to get to (and the Allen wrench T30 really helped). It also helps to get the electrical connectors out of the way that are to the right of the throttle body as well. This allows you to gain access from the right of the throttle body.
Its the charge pipe.. It moves under acceleration because of the boost of the turbo. But yes u right i dnt know why they need so much support.. Maybe cuz they are plastic and plastic breaks i guess
Thanks a lot...it helped me a lot...

Hi there , I appreciate how you make things so simple, can you please make a video on how to remove the radiator same vw 👍 model . Many thanks 🙏
Great video brother, but I found out while doing this job, ...... that whenever the camera cuts scenes really fast, that's the pain in butt part!! 😂
Good and clear instructions though. A lot easier watching, than doing it. 👍
Lol, definitely! Had to edit otherwise the video would be hours long 😁
@@JoelsDriveway .... Thanks for all you do, boss!
Good video again . How many band-aid job is this ?
Well if you go with the aluminum water pump, it should last for the life of the car. Obviously if it fails on me, I'll make sure to post my results. Edit: Ok I read your comment again lol, yes please wear gloves. Had about 3 band aids on my hands after this repair.
Thanks for the great video .Are there any torque specs for the water pump bolts or do you just tighten them?
I tightened them pretty snug. I believe the actual torque specs for the pump bolts are 15nm or 11.06 ft lbs.
Great video! Anyone know if this will work with a 2015 Audi S3?
Good video bro it is a graf pa1359 pump?
I'm having issues with putting the belt on the water pump - any tips or tricks??
many thanks in advance!!
Pro tIp, Drill out the holes water pump side a little wider with a step bit, and stick grease on the tabs.
Are there any concerns about vacuuming the coolant lines? I've seen some guides highly recommend doing so while others don't even mention it.
Outstanding video. Did you change your thermostat?
Thanks! I believe the thermostat was replaced earlier when I let the shop replace the first water pump. Might replace it again here soon to be sure. Thanks for watching!
You are right about how hard it is to reseat the new water pump. I can get it seated but can’t get the belt on with it seated. But if I unseat the pump slightly to get the belt on, I can’t get it to seat in the slot and get it to seat to the oil cooler. Any other tips? Been on it an hour.
Got a code p2568 on 2014 gti . Did some research and looks like a gotta replace a water pump ! Never really worked on cars but if you would rate the difficulty level of this job what would you rate it ?
Also how do you bleed the air after it’s done
Awesome video got my pump out easy 2 hours max! I still have the old belt in there, how did you remove that?
You would have to remove the gear which is held on by a left hand threaded bolt. You'd have to counter hold the crank to break it loose. If your belt is good, i wouldn't go through the trouble. It isn't a common failure point.
@@JoelsDriveway Since I bought a water pump kit it came with a new belt and bolts. I just was not sure on how to remove the water pump belt. Since its a left handed thread I would try to push the wrench towards the rear of the car and not towards the front right?
Where was this video when mine crapped out??? Lol. I done it the hard way!
About to replace mine.
I guess It's a good idea to replace the oil cooler while I'm.in there?
Any vids for oil cooler replacement?
Been reading its an pita to replace the belt. Any tips?
Finally is it worth flashing the complete coolant? If yes how?
I haven't replaced my oil cooler but you can definitely get to it while you're in there. As for the pump belt, i reused mine. I haven't seen/heard of them failing. I plan to do a video in the future on replacing it anyway. You can get most of the coolant out by removing the radiator hose underneath and also the hose to the secondary coolant air pump. Good luck on the repair 👍
Hello! My girlfriend just bought a 2010 GTI and we had it inspected. The shop found a coolant leak and quoted $2,000 to replace the waterpump along with the Oil cooler. Should i just do these both myself?? I've got really zero experience working on Volkswagens but it seems like at least the waterpump might be doable?
Note, before disconnecting the hose from the intercooler to the throttle body, be sure to unscrew 2 bolts that you see pictured in the video. I didn't loosen the T30 bolt that Joel points out (at 3:05), and I only removed the lower T30 bolt you see (at 3:15). Oops, broke off the higher bracket, but all is good. Not sure why they need so much support on this hose. Also be sure to remove the sensor connector before you pull the intercooler hose off.
The T30 screw on the bottom bracket was stripped, so I had to saw off the bottom bracket to remove it. But I honestly think that it can function without either bracket. They don't seem to offer much support .
Will this also work for the K6 Gtis?
Great video, Do you know if the aluminum pump fits the gen3 2.0T motor in the 2014 Jetta GLI?
Yes sir, the pump fits all VW GLI years 2011-2014
@@JoelsDriveway unfortunately the 2014 GLI has a different water pump remember it uses is the gen3 motor from the mk7 GTI even ecstuning had it listed wrong here is a pic photos.app.goo.gl/Y6KWe1B3HNV5qg2H9

Hey have you fixed the problem mine won’t turn on as well
You found out why. ?
Is this the same for 2010 gti?
Hi. What drive the belt that run the pump?
Is it the same exact way on the mk5 gti 2.0 tsi ? Can’t find a single video on it.
