Owner reviews for water pump

Im at over 290k on the original water pump

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.

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.

I replaced my water pump last weekend with a new pierburg pump from ecs tuning, everything went smoothly, no leaks, etc.

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.

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….

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..

My s5 water pump failed at 300 miles, car wound up lemon’d.

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 ?
