I’m on year 3 of a 2020 M240ix and it has cost me nothing besides regular maintenance and premium fuel. Now I expect that to change soonish, as at my last oil change I was told my water pump has a very slow leak and, at some point, will need to be replaced to the tune of $2k.
OP, I had my water pump replaced by an independent shop recently. I got the parts from FCP euro for cheaper and used Audi parts instead cause it’s the same damn thing.
A 525tds was my first car. Only ever had two problems with it. Heater fuse kept blowing- turned out the previous owners install of the head unit used eletrical tape which over time lead to a cable shorting out on the din cage. Water pump died - oem impeller was plastic. The replacement was metal
Took it to my trusted mechanic, and it was the water pump. These water pumps fail every 60,000 miles (or 100,000 km for your UOM). I got mine replaced at 35k miles first, and it failed at 94k, so it adds up.
My 2019 rs5 water pump went out at 72k miles
Electric water pump on my BMW was \u00a3436.54 fitted at a BMW specialist (not dealership) OEM pump fitted, the same pump for me to buy and fit myself (no chance) was \u00a3600+ on Euro Car Parts
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.
The cooling system is the major weak point (ask me how I know) - water pump failed before 70k (changed under warranty)
2013 A5 Cabriolet here. Most of what I read said the water pump should make it to around 100k. Mine went at around 85k.
My water pump in my 2020 S4 failed around 45K miles.
