Volkswagen Passat Water Pump - 1.8tsi(EA888)
A drawn out, barely edited video chronicling the removal and replacement of a water pump on a 2015 Volkswagen Passat with a 1.8tsi CPRA engine.
@deamonmachine was the inspiration and motivation to make this video. Please take a moment to watch his video.
This should work for any CPRA/CPKA (EA888) found in:
2014 - 2017 VW Passat
2014 - 2018 VW Jetta (including Jetta Sport)
The specific car in the video is a 2015 Passat with a manual transmission.
Water pump started leaking around 93,000 miles. Coolant could be smelled after driving and a small puddle would form immediately after driving. Water pump did not leak while sitting, only while running.
