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 traded in my first car earlier this year
Subaru impreza > audi s5 supercharged. Best decision ive made. The only real problem other than maintenance was the waterpump and pcv which are known failures with this specific engine
I had a 2017 GT… here are common issues that I also ended up having:
Water pump went out at 60k
AC started to struggle, especially on hot days, around 70k miles
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.
'21 RS6 with 37k miles. Got the same error late last month. Been in the shop for 3+ weeks for water pump & vacuum line replacement.
About a month ago, I kept getting the “Engine Coolant Too Hot — Pull over and let engine idle” error. It would literally come on for a split second then disappear. On one occasion, I noticed that the coolant was low so I topped it off. The error went away for about a week, then came back. This time, though, it remained on and the thermostat actually crept up. I dropped that thing off at the dealer so fast… four days later they tell me that the water pump has started to fail and that one of the solenoids had started leaking coolant.
I got lucky and found out my VIN was part of the class action lawsuit for water pumps, got that replaced for free.
Only thing that left me stranded was the water pump. I thought I had a squeaking belt for the week leading up to it. I was wrong lol
Just turned 51K miles and threw an engine light for the first time. Took it straight to the dealer, low boost fault code due to coolant migration from water pump failure. At 51K miles I’m out of warranty with a $7,500 repair bill.
