Reviews of OEM Audi water pump

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.

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.

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.

Mine (2020 SQ5 w/37k miles) failed this week :( picking it up tomorrow.

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.

My 2022 s4 water pump failure at 42000km. Lucky it was under warranty. This is probably the last Audi I will buy. The quality sucks.

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

Only have had to do the typical water pump/thermostat (and associated solenoid valves)/motor mounts/lower control arms/oil filter housing gasket.

Stock 2018 with 68k. Mine has been solid and a blast to drive. Finally dealing with the water pump issue, but nothing until now.

I'm currently driving a brand new Q5 while my car gets a new water pump. The dealership *apologized* for giving me that loaner Q5... lol. I honestly, really, truly hate it. It has a premium price, but sitting in it with all the plastic everywhere, does not feel premium.
