Water pump OEM FORD or OEM Audi

Water pump started leaking so replaced it, the thermostat, and the pcv. Oil changes 4k-5k. Love the car.

This time the shop foreman went through the car soup to nuts again, replaced a fuel rail connector, and the water pump.

I just had the alternator (bearing went bad) and water pump changed (coolant leaking through the weep hole). Still the original block.

Water pump went out on two of mine around 100k.

My b9 has had 0 problems except water pump, 110k

Here’s my experience with the 2019 for what it’s worth:

Bought a 2019 with 5.0, xlt with 20k miles for $41k in Aug 2022.

-Water pump and vct’s replaced at 50k miles.

-New engine at 98k miles due to oil consumption (2 dealerships and 4 months later). Replaced in Aug of 2024

-102k miles the trans started acting funny, fully grenading at 112k miles. Replaced Feb of 2025

-126k miles and the transmission cooler fails midway through a 3hour trip with the pop up camper and family in tow.

The water pump was defective as well upon diagnostic. Leak in coolant as well. 2022 with 20k miles.

The part they had sent to replace for a recall leaked all of the coolant out. Luckily the tech caught it and ordered another part.

Had my water pump go out around 29K miles this past winter. My coolant was very low and my heat was working properly. Luckily I was still under warranty. Keep an eye on that water pump. They’re notorious for failing.

I have the same exact issue on my 2021 Q8 coolant leaking in vaccum system they want over $8k for repairs just hit 51k miles
