Water pump AISIN or OEM Audi

2015 B9 A4 3.0TDI. Almost at 200k. Original waterpump and no issue in sight.

Audi made it right by making the oem water pump replacement aluminum, not plastic smh.

The inverter water pump is a fairly common failure on the second gen Prius. The pump runs anytime the car is on, and it just wears out.

I bought a 2017 S3 with 40k kms, best car I’ve owned so far, had to replace the water pump but I swear the OEM one is made of cardboard. No more expensive than any other car to service.

Got my water pump, PCV, and thermostat replaced a few months ago. Did it myself. If you're semi-handy I'd definitely recommend doing it yourself. My wallet was definitely happy I did haha

I bought one a couple weeks ago. It went right in and works perfectly so far. It's a really easy install too.

Now, I had to get the motor mounts and water pump replaced. Pump was leaking a bit, not taking chances with that.

My 1 year, \~6K miles Aisin WPT-108 pump failure story:

I have a 4A-FE Corolla E11. Changed timing belt, auxiliary belts, tensioner+spring, the whole lot last summer. The waterpump (Aisin WPT-108) was from a reputable online shop here in Europe (Autodoc). Last week I come to find the new pump dripping from the lower weep hole, so its the whole timing belt job all over again pretty much. No wierd bearing sounds. I did 6K miles last year if that.

Waterpump and thermostat are common issue with Audi. I had a 2017 S3 and had it replaced around 65K miles, and now my 2019 S5 was replaced under warranty at approx 38/39k miles. The mechanic mentioned something along the lines, its made out of plastic.

My water pump and thermostat just went out on my ‘18 Allroad and was pleasantly surprised to find out that they were both under an extended warranty even though my car’s general warranty had expired last year.
