The car in question is my girlfriends 99 jetta 2.0l. It has just under 80k miles on it. The problem we're having is the water pump crapping out. It's had 5 that's right
5 pumps in the last year and a half and is at the dealer right now for it's
6th. Thank heaven for the extended warranty. As far as the dealer goes they really don't seem to mind having it come back every 3-4 months for a pump......they get paid by the warranty company

Is there a problem with the pumps for the mk4's, anyone else had similar problems?
Much appreciated
