We got loaner cars each time my wife's S3 needed warranty work. Twice was in for 2 days just needed to be arranged couple weeks prior.
I'd assume the GTI, S3 water pumps all the same. It's a bit annoying buying best part of $60k car here with known issues in past with turbo failures, water pump failures and haldex issues with either software issue or pump. I'm getting the latest haldex update in couple of weeks which should fix my minor slippage when wot off mark occasionally setting off the traction control. Guess all cars have their possible flaws. As long as turbo doesn't blow and damage engine I'll accept water pump and software update in 4yrs.
