Great job, really well explained. With that much detail almost anyone can do it. Really well done, sir.

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Thank you!

THANK YOU FOR THS DETAILED VIDEO

[@Grunter123]

Great video, thankyou. I have one of these coming into the shop this week. Always nice to do a bit of prep on a job we haven't done before.

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

No problem man! I think it’ll go smooth, not a bad job

[@rajb7619]

How did it go?

[@Grunter123]

@@rajb7619 Yes it went great thanks, was good to have this visual before starting.

I like to fish the belt on before bolting down pump also.

[@dnxb1t]

Don't own an Audi but still watched, doesn't look hard but tedious, thanks for the video. 😊

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Thanks, yeah it’s definitely not my favorite water pump job

[@norcaloutdoor5462]

great information

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Thanks!

[@chriswright9720]

Is this a secondary water pump? Thought they only had one on the timing belt

[@jjones121]

Hey guys, absolutely remove the intake manifold, takes an extra 10 minutes to take it off but saves massive time in the long run !!!

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

When doing the job without it being on a hoist this is a real good idea

[@tDog553]

is this for the 2.0 or the 1.8l turbo? also, if i recall on the 1.8 the waterpump and the thermostat are separate parts? can you assemble them together and then install as one whole piece?

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

This is a 2.0 the 1.8t is very similar job, yup you can put them together and install the as one piece

[@charlesdavis9909]

Is there a special tool needed for the water pump installation?

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Nope

[@user-ex7hx7um4f]

а как поменять только термостат не снимая помпу

[@tyshawnmayers3660]

Might be a silly question but doesn't hurt to ask, would it be the same on a 2015 A3?

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

My guess is yes, can’t say 100%

[@danielbarriosromero6139]

How did the diagnose end up telling you the pump was the issue?

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

I believe it was leaking coolant

[@denvlase]

What was the torque spec for the water pump that you installed?

[@tcusteve1995]

I would not torq them unless you have a well working torq wrench. I broke two bolts off inside the engine not fun getting those out

[@livierjrmontenegro7056]

That union pipe is a pain keeps slippin off didn’t know it needed to be replaced

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Yeah sometimes those can put up a fight, you’ll get it

[@Straitbacon305]

Where were the replacement parts purchased from?

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

I believe our parts supplier we use often is worldpac. When I’m ordering parts on my own not through the shop I often use fcp euro

[@Straitbacon305]

@@EuropeanAutoRepair thank you!!

[@Twenty7evenFast]

Same job on a 2017 Audi A3 non quattro?

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

I think it’s just about the same

[@Twenty7evenFast]

Thanks man
