According to my VW dealer, VW used plastic impellers so when the water pump failed the catastrophic failure was the plastic impeller, not a broken timing belt from a steel impeller wedging into the housing.
Winter is here!! Time to install a FrostHeater and your TDI will think it's Summer time!
Be warm this year!
Increase the longevity of your engine and starting components, it pays for itself!
You don't have to live in an extreme cold region to enjoy a FrostHeater....they are in every U.S...
I always thought I'd convert it to a TDI at some point for the ultimate winter car, but I have too many projects and no time even with Covid. Yes, it has a FrostHeater! The 1.8T prototype!

FrostHeater
Install a FrostHeater and be warm, while extending the life of your starting components!
"I should have done this years ago!", is what many new owners tell us.
Thanks!
Increase the life of your TDI starting system!
-Less demand on your Battery
-Starter turns easily with a warm engine
-Glow Plugs - Late model TDI Glow Plugs are $400 a set just for the parts! A pre-warmed engine greatly reduces the wear of those components!
Make the investment now and reduce...
We figure even if we have to pay for a HPFP every 120k (and it's not guaranteed to happen then), it's so worth it since there truly isn't an equivalent car out there to replace it with.
The EPA and Volkswagen say the fix won't affect the cars' fuel economy, reliability or driving characteristics.
