VW Warranty and The Dreaded Water Pump

Howdy,

Long time lurker but soon to be owner of a 24 GLI, but was curious about the factory 60k mile warranty. Specifically if the water pump is covered or not. From my conversations and readings online, the pump itself is covered but the labor hours and the housing itself is not. Is this really the truth? Despite having owned subarus I surprisingly have little to 0 experience in warranty work or coverage, so reading that labor AND the housing is not covered kinda blew me away.

Any input or experience is greatly appreciated
TIA
