So I've been having some strange overheating issues, the engine and heating are absolutely fine, it's the dsg that was flashing the block of death every time the weather is hot.

I drained the coolant, flushed out the dsg oil cooler refilled and it seemed better but still eventually flashed the block of death, so I had been driving around with the heaters on Hi.

The electric pump runs when the cars turned off, and also works when it reaches high temperature, so it wasn't that.

So today I decided to drop the coolant again and tackle the water pump.

I found my issue.

Well done. Have you found a new replacement, or will you have to repair the broken impellor?

Plastic impeller?

Yes the original was plastic.

I have fitted a metal replacement, they're not as efficient but will last forever now, easy job 1.5 to 2 hours.

Would you publish the source for the new impellor for the benefit of the forum please?
