Vacuum pump oil leak - should I also replace water pump?

[Billysal]

Hi all,

I have an oil leak that appears to be coming from the vacuum pump (2004 Mk 6, 2.4). I’ve booked it in to have a new vacuum pump fitted, but have noticed that people often replace both the vacuum pump and water pump at the same time. Is this advisable?

Also, I’m looking at parts and tpuk do a vacuum pump plus water pump plus gaskets for less than just the vacuum pump on europarts or gsf. Any experience with these tpuk parts?

Cheers!
