The pump on my S5 just went out at 50k, almost exactly. $950 for parts and it's actually a pretty simple diy job.

Pros: simple diy job

I had a check engine on my SQ7 throwing an under boost code. My brother (a master tech) conferred with a colleague and determined that the water pump was starting to leak and check engine went on because coolant was already finding its way into other components. I wasted no time and just had the work done rather than risk potential bigger issues with turbos etc.

Pros: proactive replacement
Cons: water pump leaking, check engine light
Vehicle: Audi SQ7

Just had my water pump done on my S4 last week while it was at the dealer for the engine knocking. My Brake pedal was very stiff if the car sat overnight, almost like concrete. The tech found coolant in the vacuum line, the Brake Pedal was losing Vacume and making it extremely stiff after sitting overnight. Turned out my water pump went bad, I never smelled any coolant and did not have any warning lights.

Cons: water pump went bad, coolant in vacuum line, stiff brake pedal
Vehicle: Audi S4

I just replaced the waterpump, thermostat and vacuum system on my B9. Leaked internally into the PCV, I would check the solenoids. Mine has about 68.5k - replaced with the new 6 bolt pump.

Cons: leaked internally

I smelled coolant on my 2019 Audi Q7 when it had 50,000 miles. Took it to the local Audi dealership. They swore up and down no issues. I kept a very close eye on the coolant levels. Slowly kept going down. Took it back two weeks later, and the water pump needed replaced.

Cons: water pump needed replacement, coolant smell
