Audi Water Pump Replacement DIY (2008-2017 Audi MLB A4, S4, A5, S5, Q5)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2024
- ►Your Audi's water pump is one of those parts that seem as if it's engineered to fail. On the EA888 engine, the water pump from the factory is made of plastic. Heat, vibration, and plastic aren't known for playing nice together, over time degrading and becoming brittle. If left alone long enough, these water pumps spring leaks, dumping coolant on your driveway or in your garage. This is why Audi coolant leaks on cars with the EA888 engine are so common.
In this DIY, Aaron Davis, FCP Euro's Audi Catalog Manager, shows us how to replace the plastic water pump on your MLB platform Audi, such as the A4, S4, A5, S5, or in the case of this video, the Q5, with an all-metal upgraded version. After you replace your plastic water pump with this all-metal version, it shouldn't need replacement again for the life of the vehicle.

Great video on doing this water pump! I'm a technician myself, worked for a Volvo/Volkswagen dealership for a long time, mainly on the Volvo side. I left for Ford, in 2013, and now have my own indy shop, and I work on just about anything you can think of. Thats so much easier nowadays, with the Internet, and especially TH-cam. I rely on it to get a head start and find instructions on a lot of things on different vehicles. Its not the only resource I use and rely on, but quality instructional videos such as this one, help a lot. Thanks for posting this one!
Just did this on my own without any mechanic background thanks to your video saved a lot of money thanks !!
This video was a HUGE help. My original water pump failed a couple of years back on my ‘13 A4 and I paid a mechanic $350 and bought my own replacement aluminum pump from Amazon. The thermostat failed after less than 2 years, and I needed to replace it again. All of my parts came from FCPeuro and the quality was great. All of the instructions worked perfectly, except I was able to slip my belt back on without cranking the engine. Outstanding instructions!
That is fantastic, love to hear you were able to tackle this yourself this time around!
Over all moral of this tutorial when in doubt: 90 degree hook pick
This technician is very neat and organized and instructional with every video that I have watched with his repair procedures. I have been a technician for 40 plus years and it's always great to see perfection especially when you are in learning mode. Very inspirational. Keep up the great work! 👍🏾
Great guide thanks much. It went easier than expected and took me less than an hour. I found it way easier to install the belt first and then guide the pump in.
Dealer wanted over $1800 to do this job, so I ordered the parts,(pump kit + pipe+union), from you, and followed this video for a very successful install. I took my time and turned it into an all-day job. I’m not a pro, but could do this again in maybe 3 hours. I had to get o-ring WHT006407 20x3mm) from the VW dealer, but everything else went perfectly for my 2014 Q5 w/101k miles.
Thank you soo much for this video. I just finished replacing water pump on my Audi Q5, and you made my job easier with this video. Thank you!!!!
All hail the 90 degree pick 😂
Very helpful video, totally saved me a ton of extra time and work. One thing though, there’s no need to turn the crank to put the belt back on. Just slide the belt on with the water pump about 1/4 inch to the right of the dowel pins, then use some arm and hand muscles to put the pump on the dowels and while holding the pump on with one hand put the bolt farthest away from the belt in……. You know the rest!!!
You're an angel
A mechanice just quoted me $1,700 to replace the water pump on my 2010 Audi A4 Avant. I am going to try this instead. Thanks for the video.
This is an excellent video and very easy to follow. I replaced the coolant pump in my 2012 Audi Q5 2.0 over the past weekend and it only took a couple of hours with a couple of hiccups. There are a couple of steps I felt could be added to the video to make it even better. First of all, most of these kits provide a new belt for the pump which is not easy to install. I thought I could just slide the old one out and slide the new one in, but easier said than done. The gear that spins with the crank has a flange on it (probably to keep the belt from sliding off) and it prevents the belt from sliding out between the block and the flange. I could not get the belt pulley bolt off as it requires a special tool, so I just cut the old belt off and tried to slide the new one underneath. This was frustrating but after awhile with some lithium grease I finally got it to go; there must be an easier way though. The second thing is that there is a one time use gasket that goes between the throttle bottle and the intake manifold housing that needs to be replaced. I wish the young fella would have mentioned this. The Audi dealer nailed me $37.00 for a $4.50 gasket I could have bought online if I would have known, but I needed to get the car back on the road so I was stuck. Also, my intake manifold is made of plastic and the torque specs for plastic were not supplied (I don't usually torque plastic so I just hand tightened). All in all, this was an excellent video, thanks Aaron Davis!
My throttle body had a green rubber gasket, I would not consider it a one-time use gasket, seemed in fine condition. Just cleaned up the surfaces and re-used
There are many videos on the web showing clear steps on how to manipulate the belt onto the WP pulley before placing it in its final position.
Great video, way above the rest. Very detailed , thorough and good camera work. Even the torque specs are outlined. I watched this several times to learn all the steps and it went pretty smooth except for two huge things I wish I knew going in: #1 The torque specs are for 9nm (water pump), 7 nm for throttle body - but I found out during installation that my torque wrench only goes down to about 27nm and had to stop mid job and order a new tool. Good thing is they sell mini 1/4 drive torque wrenches for bicycle mechanics that range from 2nm to 20nm and it worked great. #2 You should make sure you are able to rotate the crank for the belt install (at 13:37) before everything. I had a long ratchet but wasn't quite long enough and had to use a breaker bar, which required many incremental turns before having to detach the socket and find the nut again, very frustrating. Also on my car (Audi A5) there is a small electrical box attached to the radiator housing which is right in front of the crank bolt which blocked access for attaching a socket. After close examination it was held on with a small T30 screw and it dangled out of the way after detaching.
That happened to me! I had no long rachear just a beaker bar and finding the nut to rotate the crank was very difficult and was a very tight space in front of the radiador had to do it several times to seat the belt onto the pump gahhhhh
For the crank I used an old, cheap ratcheting 1/2” torque wrench and a 15/16th socket (I didn’t have a 24mm), and it worked great.
This is a great DIY video. But Iwould do it differently starting by unplugging the lower radiator hose instead of opening the drain bib. It's faster and allows more of the coolant to evacuate. Also, on 7:51, the heater hose, there is no need to tap the hose connector with a large screwdriver. Its better to remove the screws holding the plastic pipe then holding it at a comfortable angle just wiggle it out of the heater hose.
Great video! Just what I needed while replacing my water pump.
oh great job on the water pump belt..i struggled putting back the belt on the new pump but your video was very very helpful indeed! Thanks
Replaced my waterpump today following your video tutorial exactly as described and It Went surprisingly well Using your repair Kit.My pump developed A Leak Where The Pump Meets The block Top Middle Of The Round Port On The Right Where The OE Pump Had A Small Indent/Notch (blew The Rubber Gasket Out BECAUESE IT CRACKED OFF A SMALL PIECE OF HOUSING Thank You FCP EURO, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!
Nice work Macktruck!
Great video. Top notch. I decided to take the intake manifold off to get more room, and while it was off scraped some carbon build up off the valves. In spite of my different approach, all the applicable steps made for an easy diy. Thanks again fcpeuro!
Hi Chris, did you vacuum refill or just bleed it with the hi-temp air con while idling? I don't have the vacuum refill kit and it's almost the same price as the water pump itself.
What a very good mechanic it's great to see a great job well done 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video. Unfortunately your shipping department isn't on the same level as your video department. I ordered this water pump kit with expedited shipping. It took 4 working days to ship. Really? That's expedited? 11 days later still no water pump. When I contacted you to ask what the shipping delay was, I was assured it would arrive by the promised date 8/8-8/11. Well, guess what? It's still not here. I should have bought it cheaper somewhere else but wanted to support you guys for putting out these DIY videos. Hopefully you can figure out the shipping thing. I'm extremely disappointed in your service.
😂😂😂
😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn I just order this kit and pay the expedited shipping hope it comes on time
@@macaroni6293did it come on time ?
@Forever4clothing yes it did sorry for the late response
This video was very helpful video. I've never replaced a water pump on any car and this video from FCP (along with their all aluminum upgraded water pump) made the problem very approachable. I highly recommend getting the hose clamp pliers if you don't have them; otherwise, I found the hose clamp on the plastic coolant pipe a complete pain (and ultimately went and bought hose clamp pliers at Autozone but you can probably get them cheaper if you plan ahead). The only other hiccup was my 2013 A4 had an M10 triple square (spline) screw on the bottom of the metal bracket that needs removed ... yet anther frustrating piece of over-engineering from Volkswagen. (I mean seriously Volkswagen engineers - really? Let's over-engineer a screw but put a plastic water pump on our German luxury performance brand.). Thank you to FCP - even with the tool purchases still saved over $1000 from the dealership quote of $1300-$1400.
Gr8 video!!! I used the video to change my water pump recently 🙌
Thank you for this video..very much appreciated 🙏
Excellent video by a master mechanic. Well done! Thanks for making such great videos!
Thanks for watching, Paul!
There are many reviews of the metal water pumps that mention that the temp sensor and thermostat that come with the assembly are complete garbage and go bad quickly. Could you comment on that?
Most of those are Chinese replicas. Fcp sells oe and oe equivalent parts. Graf parts are made in Italy and have a good reputation. As someone who spends tons of money with fcp, all the stuff they sell is usually great.
Amazing video. Definitely saved me a lot of time! Thank you
This looks so intimidating, but extremely well detailed vid
My man has and Audi/VW tattoo! Nice lol
I’m surprised you didn’t have to pull the front end off to do that job! On most modern Audis that’s unheard of!
Thanks u for the video. I have to do this for a friend of mine. Don’t wanna get into it but will do it thanks for ppl like you that make it easier for ppl like me 🙏🏽
Where can I get that 90 degree hook pick lol.
Here you go :) www.fcpeuro.com/products/8-piece-hook-and-pick-set-dual-gearwrench-84010h
Lovely video, best ever. Mine also leaking a coolant but not 100% sure its the water pump. I did see the residue on the Belt cover and under the Engine. But i could nt really pick where its coming from
Bought my water pump at orielly but didn’t come with a new union can I use the old one, installed the old union to the new pump but didn’t need force like you used just goes In smoothly in, should I be fine ?
I was wondering this exact thing... Don't want to install a brand new pump and the stupid union causes me to have an issue again and have to take the whole thing apart again
@fcpeuro Great video.. my only issue is at 13:55 which way do you mean turn the crank clockwise? Sitting in the car looking through the windshield clockwise or standing in front of the car look at it clockwise. The video is not clear with what you mean. Thank you!!
Hi Alex, that would mean if you are staring at the front of the engine, you want to rotate the engine clockwise.
Do you have a list of which size bolt goes where. I'm going to blame the cat on this, even though he's never been in the garage, but the bolts got scrambled.
Do you have to program the it as well ? If you don’t would that make it not work ?
Fantastic video, to the point and nothing left out! It took me 4 hours working slowly and making sure I did it right. For the last part of filling the coolant, you can simply add it to the tank and keep adding while the engine is running till it stabilizes.
Don't forget to turn the heater on high when doing this. Needs to fill the heater core also.
I have a question does it come with the coolant sensor attached to the water pump when you purchase? Or do you need to buy separately?
Straightforward………………thinking twice about buying an Audi
Amazing Video. It totally helped me
Great video. Saved me at least $1000 in labor costs.
Right on!
@@fcpeuro I should note the bolts that you supply for the thermostat housing are about 1/8” shorter than factory. Caused me to strip the bolt threads on 9N*m torque. fortunately the originals worked. I have a picture if desired.
@@schotts631 If you could actually send the photo to our team at service@fcpeuro.com
@@fcpeuro sent!
What if you don’t have a way to vacuum fill the new coolant?
Great video. Is this the same water pump & procedures compare to my 2018 Q5? What is the life expectancy of the plastic water pump in a stock engine?
Why didn’t you change the water pump belt?
I have a buddy that uses Prodemand by Mitchell to help him fix cars. He was telling me that you need special tools to keep the timing from getting out of sync. Is this an issue when replacing the water pump? Should I be concerned?
Great video, but beware of the Graf 06H121026DDKT2 water pump kit. the housing at the temp sensor plug is nearly 6mm thicker than the stock plastic water pump. The kit seems to comes with stock length bolts, one of which stripped out on me. The bottom bolt hole on my belt cover didn't line up, but it worked out for me to use that as one of the bolts for the thermostat housing, so all ended well.
Thank you. This was a huge help for me!
Thanks for the video. I replaced the water pump on a 2.0T qu5 it all went good except for the union pipe leak. Is common? I had to put some RTV silicone around the O rings.
Hi everyone I just want to know why is my thermostat motor burning for the second time on replacing thermostat housing water pump is there maybe a electrical fault any help? And what might the voltage be
I changed my water pump on a 2010 Audi A4 Quattro but the part where you put the belt on ain’t spinning any ideas on what it is.
Wish there was a detailed one for the A3 8P. The engine orientation is lateral so I need some good tips on easiest way to access the pump in this orientation.
What is the support brace socket sizes the top nut is a 12 but the bottom one is star shaped and pretty big
Should one consider replacing the accessory belt too?
I didn’t replace mine it looked still in great condition
Best explication ever
Would this procedure be the same for 09 A3 quattro with a 2.0T?
thanks a million for this video.
Thank you for watching!
Great video! Been watching it several times to build up the confidence to replace mine on my 2012 Audi A4 Quattro. Couple questions: Is a torque wrench truly needed or does hand tightening suffice? Others have mentioned having to replace a gasket between the intake manifold and throttle body, but it's not in your video. Is that something I will need to replace? Much appreciated in advance!
Definitely not known for it's lubricity
Nice video, so i have a question does the audi a4 b8 1.8tfsi use same waterpump as the 2.0tfsi?
Big help Bro on the turning over the engine to replace the belt
😎
It's easier to get the belt on if you leave the 5 t30s loose, then make sure when you tighten them you tighten the two by the little guide thing first.
hi guys how much coolant was needed to be refilled ?
How many hours is fair for a shop to charge for this work on an 2015 A6
should the lower rad hose go to top of waterpump
Would this water pump work on a 2017 Porsche macan 2.0L?
Excellent details
Helpful DIY! Thanks! I’ve recently swapped the Water pump on my 12 A4. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND keeping your old temp sensor and thermostat or getting a new OEM ones in FCPeuro, the ones that are in the kit, that was mentioned, are not OEM and will inevitably fail. My temp sensor failed on mine after 1K miles, it wasn’t hard to replace the temp sensor and the thermostat, but it’s an inconvenience. I also replaced my thermostat with brand new one just in case.
Thanks for sharing, Giancarl!
Man !! Great video !! Just the thought of removing thing s off the engine and reassembling, seems a little intimidating. I have never worked on Audi cars before . I might have to bring it to the mechanic after all or I might just attempt to replace it myself. Thanks for the video though
Thank you for watching!
😊what the torque for the throttle body again!! I’m not sure I heard it on the video . Thanks again
How long would it take to replace water pump??
I have a 2017 Audi Q7 2.0 - will this video apply?
Does anyone know where the Larger O rings gasket goes?!?! I ordered and put together without still leaked then noticed a single O ring was left out but there is nowhere possible to assemble with! Someone help!!
why could you not have put the belt on the Wat
er pump ... before fitting in the universal joint and then align the dowel pins. Same will pulling the pump out. Belt could have come of last. Just a thought
Thanks for the Upload FCP Euro, but am I having Deja Vu? or was this previously uploaded?
Great Video. Thanks. Im showing a P2181 and was just going to replace sensor to start but figure I will replace sensor, pump and thermostat all at once. Does your kit include these 3 items? Either the Graf 06H121026DDKT2 or Rein 06H121026DD (2014 Audi A4 2.0 Quattro)
Hi Owen, thanks for watching! We have a kit that includes all of those items which you can find by selecting your model on FCPEuro.com. We have a few options available for you.
When I search for 2017 TFSI, I cant find the metal one, is anyone else having this issue?
Same water pump as my 2017 audi a4 ultra fwd ?
Thanks. Very well done and informative. But will not be tackling this. Merely watching it induced anxiety. Too many small old brittle parts to break, too many small parts to drop. Poor vision, poor access. Specialized tools.
Pay Audi the biannual owner-victims $1500 tithe.
German cars are complicated, tight and expensive. They are poorly designed for repairs. The limited life plastics have a short life cycle in the heat.
Have a good repair budget, a good tow package and a good garage lined up ahead of time.
Or buy a modest mid- or late-cycle new Toyota, maintain it well and forget about repairs for 15 years.
Is there a way to test the old pump to see if it's bad?
I just replaced thermostat thought it was it but no could it be my water pump coolant stay full until I I start the car it leaks down to the front engine by oil pan?
Hi Thot Lord, it can certainly be a failing water pump that is leaking. Further inspection will be needed to determine that, perhaps a small mirror or borescope may help you.
@@fcpeuro thanks for the info! Further inspection it is definitely the water pump.
naptowntuner does this job in 20 minutes also, this seems more detailed and a lot more parts removed but skips about more... where this i think would take an hour to do, where Naptowntuner does it in a 20 minute continuous video, very fast entire job, but take this guy serious, he has Audi / VW tattoo on his wrist and is doing it more by the book that Audi wants you to do it by. Thank you for such detail on this job, i have confidence of doing it now. This guy goes over detail of build quality of pump and gaskets a bit more also to explain to you.
I just installed the new Graf WP kit. Is it normal for the lower big hose to be super hard to fit in? Anyway I did install it finally and did make sure the metal clip click on the way in and that it is sitting properly in its place, but noticed some leak for the same exact pipe where it fit on the WP after the car warmed up. Any ideas?
@Miketheknight68 Where did you find the o-ring? There is almost no room for an o-ring on mine. If i have the o-ring in place i can't compress it and get the pipe to clip in. The ring would have to be extremely flat for it to work.
I ended up calling FCP and they supplied me with FEBI # 4E0121666. Thats the O ring i replaced on the hoses that connect to the water pump. This ended up fixing my issue.
Really great DIY video .. I like the detail in it, that 2.0 TFSi H2O pump is in a difficult position but it not that bad of a job, I just did mine on my ‘13 B8 A4 took my about 3hrs based on watching this video. I really liked the torque specs too. I’m a huge fan of FCP and I’ll continue to buy from you guys.. great website and customer service and does that water pump have the policy of Lifetime warranty?
I had leaking coolant from thermostat housing and audi replaced that, but aren’t they suppose to replace the water pump as well ? Or is it water pump and thermostat 2 different parts?
It all depends on the vehicle. For some, they are two separate units, for this Audi the water pump and thermostat are all encased in one unit.
Its A4 B9 … is it 1 unit?
@@HeadsUP253 it is just 1 unit
Thanks for your reply keep up the good work i will subscribe now
Just did this, got everything back together, filled coolant and started engine to have a steady drip to the floor. Going to take it all apart again, any popular causes for this to happen for a first-timer?
?
That drum rift and high speed is pretty annoying.
Place share update for one on the Golf 7GTI.
Why is that shops are charging 1700 for this ? I’ve done this job easy before how much would u charge for this realistically speaking
A 'plastic' coolant pump? Genius! 🤣
For CDNC engine?
what is the green connector?
It's the same way in the Audi A5 2008 TFSI 1.8 with chain strap
" new upgraded pump that won't leak as much as the plastic one" is not a good opening statement...How about a pump with "zero" leaks ? 😁
Why G13 ? Instead of G12
G13 Supercedes G12 and is cross capatable.
Good free good 👍👍
Min 17:44 what are those connectors for ?
Is this the same engine in the Q7 2.0t?
Hi JImmy, the Q7 is equipped with a newer gen 2.0T. However, the timing idea is still relevant to that engine.
You dont replace the thermostat as well?
Hi Rico, if you are doing this job, it would certainly be a good time to replace the thermostat. In our case this vehicle had super low miles, so we are saving it for a later date!
@@fcpeuro ah ok thanks! Keep them videos for this platform coming. Would also be interested for the B9 as well
Great video! I've been watching it a few times and taking notes so I don't miss anything when I start the repair. I just got my kit the other day and had a quick question about the pump itself...
@fcpeuro In the box for the Graf pump, there is a set of O-rings that it does not look like you use at all (this does not include the single O-ring thag came packaged separately that you provided in the kit and obviously use in the video on the crossover pipe). Is this set of O-rings included with the pump just extra?
Hi Mark, glad to hear that! Sometimes manufacturers will include extra units that are not always necessary, or are already part of the kit we put together in-house. Thank you for the note however, we will go ahead and reflect that on our end!
@@fcpeuro thanks for the quick response! It did seem from the video they were indeed extra. I just wanted to check.
I just called my local parts store to order a water pump the man said , which one I need the mechanical or the electric he said my car has 2 water pump not only 1 ? I said the car should have only 1 because I never heard such a thing in any car I owned in the past , he said no yeah my car has 2 in it . Is this true ?
You didn't mention what car you had. The 2.0 for the years mentioned have this one single water pump that I'm aware of. BMW's have an electric water pump.
Great video. Thanks.
Thank you for watching!
I literally just watched the original post lol
how comes this engine has the aluminium intake?
It's probably E85 compatible
I believe 2014 and newer engines have alu. intake.
@@stanghp1 Just picked up a 2016 A6 with the 2.0T. It has the poly or plastic intake. My 2014 A6 TDI also has a plastic intake.
