Water Pump

The URO Parts water pump is a critical component for maintaining your vehicle's engine temperature and preventing overheating. This pump features a durable metal impeller, which offers greater efficiency and longevity compared to OE plastic impellers that can shatter and clog the cooling system. The unit includes the necessary O-ring for a proper seal and installation. Overheating can cause severe internal engine damage, including head gasket or piston ring failure. Replacing a failing water pump is essential preventative maintenance, especially when performing tasks like timing belt replacements. Some water pumps do not include thermostats; if this is the case for your vehicle, ensure you select an appropriate stock or low-temperature thermostat separately. Additionally, coolant loss is expected during this service, so be prepared with factory-approved coolant. This water pump is specifically listed as fitting the following Volkswagen models: Golf IV (1.8T, 2.0, and TDI with ALH engine code), Jetta IV (TDI with ALH engine code), and New Beetle (1.8T, 2.0, and TDI with ALH engine code). It is crucial to use the vehicle selector tool to confirm exact fitment for your specific vehicle configuration, as some applications may require specific engine codes or have other fitment notes.
