I have been watching pretty much all your videos and can’t get enough, its super valuable stuff for anyone, specifically owning vw, audis. I’m certain all viewers admire your passion and honesty. You frikkin rock, God bless you and keep going. 👍

Replaced my water pump with ease thanks to this video. I did run into other issues throughout the process like breaking the temperature sensor clip. Also my timing belt was broken so that was a very tough process getting the belt around the pulley but it all worked out. My sensor clip comes tomorrow and we’re back on the road thanks my guy.

Thanks so much for the Audi A4 water pump video. I live in Montgomery Alabama and the cheapest price I could find to install a water pump was 700.00 bucks, so after watching your video I did it myself. Took about two hours. Thanks again!

[@ProxyPixels]

Cannot thank you enough, without you I couldn't afford an audi, and there is rarely anyone who posts anything half as helpful as you! One comment for my install, autozone brand pump looked identical but could not get it into position, just close. Even tried with ratchet straps, nothing would get it. Without the coupling, it went in easy. Took the coupling and sanded it down slightly on each end, less than 10% removed between tips and o ring groove, and then it slipped in fine. My old pump was cracking, and one of the cracks was on the lip of the coupling spot, so I think the coupling was too long and putting pressure there. Not sure if maybe coupling was after market, but I can be sure that next time something breaks I'll be searching your channel again. World needs more heros like you!

[@TriMightyOutreach]

It took me 4 hours under the miami sun with water and shade breaks in between, first time for me on a q5. Everything came out perfect. Thank you for your quick teaching. Now, I need to figure out how to exchange a 2017 A4 B9 oil pan from plastic to aluminum.

He took 20 mins because he's experienced and found a way to do it faster, this job at least once took him 5 hours. Your mechanic charged you cheap still. 2jug G12 coolant 60$, water pump 400-550$ ranging depending on quality. 5-6 hour labor ranging 500-600$. 950$ is on cheap side at least here in toronto.

I watched other videos where they took more things apart and sit there and talk for 5 minutes. I just wanted to see the steps to get the pump out. Can't believe one guy wants to charge me $450 to swap the pump. After watching your video I'm going to do it myself. I'm pretty handy, done engine swaps and been working on cars myself for over 20 years so I always try to do stuff myself unless I have to buy an expensive tool that I'll only use 1 time. You make it look very easy and just move stuff out of the way rather than disconnect everything. One guy even pulled the intake manifold off for more room.

Great Video! My A5 has a water leak and I narrowed down the area and fortunately ran across your video. I replaced lots of water pumps, but never on to 2.0t. Very different from American V8s. The video is going to save me lots of time figuring out how to do. THANK YOU!

[@truthsmiles]

Thanks for the great video! I just did this job… replaced the OEM plastic pump with a Reinz aluminum. Very nice and made in Germany. The original pump seemed to be in really good shape (101k on the car), but the thermostat was opening early so the engine was never getting above 85°C. So we decided to just replace the whole thing. I was forced to go buy a set of triple square sockets because the bracket you mentioned was still on the car, and I needed one to remove it. Also, getting the new pump on was a BEAR because the gasket kept falling off. In retrospect I probably should have dabbed on a bit of ATV to hold it in place. Also, I was able to change the belt by just loosening the sprocket. I didn’t have to completely remove it. Perhaps the most surprising thing to me is the sheer number of cuts I now have on my hands… I’ve worked on a lot of cars in my life and I don’t think I’ve ever worked on one with so many sharp edges! Haha Good news is the engine now gets to about 101°-102° C and stays there. Hopefully the P2181 code will be no more!
