Water pump if stock would have a plastic impeller known to fail, but you can find metal impeller options from Graf and Hepu brands and from other aftermarket brands too.
Pros: metal impeller options available
Cons: plastic impeller known to fail
Update: it was the water pump. Got a new Gates water pump (screws and gasket included). Installed it, no sealant or anything. Works flawlessly. Not a drop anywhere.
Pros: works flawlessly, no leaks

I replaced my water pump last weekend with a new pierburg pump from ecs tuning, everything went smoothly, no leaks, etc.
Pros: no leaks, went smoothly
Cons: overheat sign came up
To answer the second question, bro, this happens to every Audi owner. Like it’s extremely common for water pumps to fail, mine is In the shop to get a new water pump, and my guys noticed there was 2 small oil leaks.
Pros: caught issues early
Cons: expensive, common failure

Volkswagen Jetta
My water pump failed and dealer replaced it under warranty. They claimed it was $5080. I would never own one of these without warranty. Stupid expensive parts/dealer labor.
My car has spend at least a month at the dealership with warranty repairs. Alternator, thermostat and water-pump are main repairs. Parts need to be ordered in every time. 31K miles now. Not so convinced about the build quality of this price range car….
Cons: water pump failed, expensive parts, poor build quality

I was in the same boat on my 19’ s5 w 37k miles. 7600 out of pocket. The urge to resist selling feet pics that day is unimaginable. And I think you replied to a comment earlier, but they do have a recall for the base models but not our S line of vehicles for the same part/problem… my wallet may have recovered but my heart still felt betrayed. Until I go for a drive… I can forgive her for her mistakes..
Cons: high repair cost, part failure

My s5 water pump failed at 300 miles, car wound up lemon’d.
Cons: water pump failed, very low mileage

Since Audi clearly makes water pumps on presumably a $50 3d printer, would it make any sense at all to buy an upgraded one, metal or whatever won’t do whatever oem ones love to, and preemptively change out ?
Cons: poor OEM quality, prone to failure
Vehicle:
Audi
