I had an '83 VW GTI that had tall gears. Even in 5th gear, the engine ran at 4000 rpm doing 70 mph. The pulley reduction was as good as possible but still, water pumps took a beating and I changed 4 of them over the 180K miles I put on it. It helped that the pump was at the bottom of the timing cover.
