Water pump OEM Audi or OEM BMW

Original water pump, lasted to 167k!

I have a 2016 A6 2.0T w/52K on the clock now and it's been reliable thus far, although I did have to replace a water pump at 17K.

Had my water pump replaced around 50,000 miles in my 2017 A4 2.0t. Other than that, the car has been rock solid.

I owned a 2009 4.2L V8 S5, had to get a new water pump & housing. euro specialty shop did it for me for ~$700.

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

2017 Q7 3.0T. Steadily using more oil over life of car. Now a quart every 350 miles. It doesnt have the power it used too. $1500 for a new water pump at 54,000 miles.

The only issue I’ve had with Audi over about 200k miles split between an 87 cs turbo Quattro and a 15 a5 cabrio is they each needed a water pump around 90k

Yup that's how my Z3 once tried to kill me. Doing 90kph on the off ramp and the ol water pump decided to retire. In the process dousing my rear wheels in coolant.

Bought it in October, had it exactly 1 week, and the water pump blew. The dealer replaced it for free

I was topping up the coolant every month or so. Was advised I would need a new water pump, which I was expecting
