Solid Advice..."Put everything the way you found it." And that little gem works in a multitude of different situations.

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Thanks, I try to get the vehicle back together in a way where it doesn’t look like it’s been touched when I can, just cleaner lol

[@TheJudokaGrappler]

Thanks for this video. Easiest water pump I have done. Done the water pump on 2006 A3, 1999 A6 Quattro, and my 2014 A7. Of all of them this was the easiest water pump to do thanks to you.

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Im happy it was helpful!

[@Eric-zs6rd]

This looks so much easier than expected

[@Sixthpanic]

I love when my customers get their car towed in and the 1st thing out of their mouth is "well I watched a video on youtube and........"

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Haha honestly I hate that too

[@dannyjr4968]

Thanks came back a year later again and you made it easy

[@michaels7007]

I watched off of Google, but this was a great explanation, thank you, take my like and comment please.

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Thank you!

[@pollo24k]

any idea if it’s the same for a 2012 a6 ?

[@danblackfield8928]

Not me by habit pulling the supercharger because last time I also did thermostat…
Thanks for the video! It helped me last time and helped this time!

[@mk_ultrarunner]

I need to do the t-stat and PCV body, but my water pump is leaking so bad I need to that first. Just don't want to have to keep putting fluids in. It adds up at $20+ a gal.

[@JuanVargas-tl5dj]

What was the torque specs on the water pump and the pulley?

[@stevenbeall9637]

Question: I thought my supercharger was bad because of a really bad grinding sound, so I pulled the supercharger belt off and started it. The sound is still there and I saw coolant at the bottom of the motor. it's only leaking when I drive since theres nothing on the driveway even after a couple days sitting. Are water pumps known to make that much racket when they go bad? Two differnt people mentioned to me that it sounds like a bad supercharger, so I was assuming that's what it was. Gotta be the water pump right?

[@nanoramos6806]

How did you take the hose on the bottom right of the car off

[@Dat550go]

Very straightforward 🎉

[@LilIC-vu8sd]

can i do this same way on a 2015 s4

[@lunchmoney3652]

I have a question. My water pump pulley has a wobble on my 2015 Audi S5 and it also squeals. Will replacing this fix these issues?

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

If the bearing of the water pump has play it should probably be replaced, while the belt is off check other pulleys and tensioner

[@motionmann448_]

helpful tutorial thanks

[@engelcrona]

I assume you did this with car in service mode. Interesting fox without taking the engine manifold off.

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

I didn’t have it in service mode, core support and bumper still in place, it’s a little tight but not too bad on this model

[@gooden000]

Lol... yeah I saw another channel the guy took the supercharger and a bunch of stuff off to get the water pump

[@engelcrona]

Where can one buy that water pump?

[@diegobasquez2015]

I buy most of my Audi parts of FCP Euro

[@Handlehandlebars]

So i watched this vid and went to the parts store and got what he said...first off lower tensioner is not a 13mm. No biggie i have that anyways...but i got an m14 triple square and it is wayyy to big. Smh. Ill have to wait till morning to work on my car when i get the right size bit... ...but thanks for the rest of the info i guess lol

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Sorry man! I’ll try to be more careful with that

[@Markp1411]

Any update size it was? Lol i gotta order mine online because these part stores dont have any

[@gavyncapello7901]

@@Markp1411also looking for update😅

[@gavyncapello7901]

also looking for update😅

[@Handlehandlebars]

Sorry not home but I found a 12 point set at o'rielys...it only had 6 8,10,and 12. I think the water pump was an 8 and the belly shield was a 10? The bits where like long metric Allen heads so cut one in half and used a wrench to slide it into for the water pump...the tensioner was a 15mm wrench I think.

[@mitokush3917]

What if your car is still running hot after

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Could be several things, thermostats fail often on this model

[@corbettenders4257]

Make sure you've bled all of the air from the coolant system after refilling it.

[@Leakybags5]

I just did this same job, have nowhere near as much room to remove water pump. Tried for hours it’s stuck. Have to take front bumper off🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Leakybags5]

It’s insane it’s like 1mm away from coming out in every possible angle but just won’t come out. Already broke fins trying to force it out

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Are you hitting the fan assembly with it?

[@Leakybags5]

@@EuropeanAutoRepair I’m hitting either my supercharger brick cooling pipes in front, or stuck between my front fan assembly and pulleys cannot get it out anyway. Bottom top left right😂 going to just pull the SC and do the tstat too😂😂

[@Leakybags5]

@@EuropeanAutoRepair wish I could send photo it’s CRAZY how close it is lol. And then I watch your video and you just pull it out without any hesitation hahaha

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Yeah sorry to hear that, probably a good idea, those thermostats fail pretty often anyway

[@vudu120]

Its 16 mm not 13
