Audi B8/B8.5 S4 - 3.0T - Water pump and Thermostat Replacement DIY(S4, S5, SQ5, and More!)

►Our motorsport engineer, Cory, is here to show you how to fix one of the most infamous cooling system failures on the B8/B8.5 platform, and that is the thermostat and water pump.
Most notably, the older B8's are known for their leaky water pumps. In fact, Audi even has a "weep hole" in the water pump designed to let you know when it is time to change out the old one to prevent bearing failure. So if you are experiencing coolant loss or your engine thermostat is not operating correctly, it might be time to change out both items at once.
Since you have to remove the supercharger belt and accessory belt, Cory will also show you how to correctly install the new belts.
This DIY will be useful for any Audi with the 3.0T engine, although there may be some small discrepancies, the core of the process will remain the same.
