Owner reviews for water pump

got the ACDELCO TCKWP312 from RockAuto

Get a pierburg if you can for the water pump. They’re more OEM than Mehle is for water pumps even though both are OE manufacturers.

Graf here. 15k miles/ 2 years, no problems.

I have only got my AISIN water pumps when ordering timbing belt replacement kits which include a new water pump, but they always came with a quality seal for the pump.

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

Only thing that ever went wrong with it in 5 years of ownership was the water pump

The only thing that I have resented paying for are water pumps which appear to need frequent changing. My comments all apply to UK models.

'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.
