    Does not matter the engine type.  It is the same. Maybe an hour. I have taken mine off, inspected the impeller and put it back on with new gaskets.  Spent more time draining out the coolant...and then reusing it.  Pump never failed in a MILLION MILES.+ It didn't even leak behind the pulley.

    2 to 3 hours if serpentine belt driven.  4-6 hours if timing belt has to be removed.

    That depends, which engine does this '01 Beetle have?

    The gas 2.0?

    The gas turbo 1.8?

    The 1.9 turbo diesel?
