1.2 TSI - Seat Toledo TSi coolant leak....water pump - up north

Had cambelt changed recently but not water pump as it is on the other side of engine and is belt driven. Noticed coolant level down, warning light, and found leak was from under the plastic housing. Turns out this is a well known issue and a back order at SEAT for the parts. £180 for water pump and housing £60 labour by a former SEAT mechanic. Car is 2016 plate 39k. Posting as it might help someone in future.

Most of the current Vag models have some kind of plastic water pump/ housing assembly that don’t seem to have a very good service life . A friend with an A4 was quoted £1500 to replace the pump on a 4 year old car . Poor show . My 18 year old , 150k Focus , is still on its original pump .
