How To tell if you have the problematic plastic water pump

Finally got back to town and checked mine and sure enough, it's plastic (build date 9/09). Took the Q in to the dealer yesterday to get my winter tires on and practically begged them to change out the pump. The service rep told me that until it starts "giving me problems" or comes up on the recall list there's nothing they can do. He also claimed that the only pumps they've had to replace so far were on on A6s. I find that hard to believe.
