Does the Volkswagen Tiguan require matching when replacing the water pump?

[JulietteLynn]

Volkswagen Tiguan requires matching when replacing the water pump. Automobile Water Pump: The water pump is a component of the vehicle's cooling system. When the engine temperature rises, the water pump circulates coolant through the hoses to cool the engine. If the water pump malfunctions, such as leaking, it can prevent the engine from cooling down in time, and in severe cases, may lead to engine failure. Symptoms of a Damaged Water Pump: A damaged water pump can weaken or even stop the coolant circulation, leading to coolant boiling. There may be coolant leakage near the water pump area of the engine. Leaking coolant leaves traces of coolant color on the water pump's ventilation holes, resulting in symptoms like high engine temperature due to insufficient coolant.
