Just replaced the water pump on my 2010 A4 Quattro. Got it done in about 4 hours which I think is pretty good considering I've never replaced a water pump before.
2017 A4 Prestige about to go over 90k miles. Only real repairs so far are water pump and breather hose if you don’t consider that maintenance.
I got a metal impeller gates and I’ve been beating on it for five years or more without any hiccups.
I own a tuned Audi, the only thing to go bad in it is the water pump which is a super common issue to the point Audi repaired it for free under extended warranty.
I brought my 2018 SQ5 in two weeks ago for an oil change and cylinder inspection. Tech said it’s mild scoring but he also said there are beginning signs of water pump failure.
My 2022 s4 water pump failure at 42000km. Lucky it was under warranty. This is probably the last Audi I will buy. The quality sucks.
I'm currently driving a brand new Q5 while my car gets a new water pump. The dealership *apologized* for giving me that loaner Q5... lol. I honestly, really, truly hate it. It has a premium price, but sitting in it with all the plastic everywhere, does not feel premium.
I can\u2019t believe my Audi has a plastic water pump and that when it went it took the oil cooler with it. The damn thing died at 44k miles.
During COVID, that water pump was on backorder from Ford so I used one from Gates. I guess Gates had a bad batch and 2 of their's failed in the span of less than a year.
The only one to really avoid out of the 5 choices on Rockauto is the Gates, because of the cheap stamped impeller. Personally, I would not go with an aluminum pump body in this application, but that's just my opinion after working on vehicles for a living for 45+ years.
