    Yeah Lucas, depending on the climate (rainfall) where you live there is much less exposure to rain here in Oz, but they shouldn't be leaking at the rate they are.

    I also forgot to mention the rubber boots for wiring at the top of the hatch. The clips on these are prone to breaking when being removed (eg for a rear dashcam or reversing camera) and after that they can leak.

    I just found this post on A1 Autohaus' facebook page saying they fitted an aftermarket alloy water pump to a Mk7 R. Very interested in this as my original waterpump has recently started to leak and im certainly not interested in replacing it with another plastic OEM pump.

    Does anyone know who makes this pump? If not I will call A1 Autohaus and see if they can tell me.

    Great find, thanks Lucas. If available, I reckon I'll 100% go that route when the time comes.
