Water pump OEM FORD or OEM Audi

I wasnt planning on changing mine either when i bought my Audi TT and it had 61k miles on it and was just going to change belt and then at 100k the pump+belt.. when i took the pump off to see if it was plastic impeller style the impeller wasnt even attached to the pump.. it was just free spinning on the shaft.. i to this day have no clue how the car never overheated before that day.. cause i drove the car 2600 miles in 9 days prior to doing the timing belt. ill dig up the link but i posted a link on here of a movie how i could flick the impeller and it spun like 6 revolutions on the shaft without the actual shaft moving...

the aux water pump is leaking you can do it without taking the intake manifold off thru the driver side rear if the engine shouldnt cost you more than 200 when your all done

At 52k miles, it appears the water pump went out on our 2015 Audi A3 1.8 T FSI. It has been drinking coolant the last few months and leaving the garage smelling like anti-freeze... the coolant leak is visible beneath the airbox/battery area.

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

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

Had to get water pump done on my A6 at 90000km / ~56000 miles. Was a couple years older than yours at the time, but still felt pretty low mileage to me.

I have a 2021 BS BB and I’m on my 3rd water pump replacement. 1st one around 20k miles, 2nd at 40k, now at the dealer with 51k miles and replacing it yet again.

Just be aware that B9’s are subject to water pump failures which can lead to the engine overheating. For months (Since March) I’ve noticed a “Whistling noise” coming from the engine bay while driving. Took it in to get it looked at (non Audi dealer) and was told it was normal. Drove it and drove until one day the car told me I had no coolant… that’s odd. Go buy coolant and keep driving. Now the car overheats and spits out all the coolant. Now it’s making sense. Either a combination of bad TStat sensor & water pump or just bad water pump. The fact that it never told me the coolant was hot the first time is spit out all the coolant leads me to believe both components are bad.

Had mine replaced last month before it broke again. The component that failed was the gasket for me then the pump failed and wanted money.
