after looking a bit looks like v51 coolant pump?

that'd be correct. There's a thread on here where another member actually did the replacement with out removing the intake manifold. Check it out.

the long way, taking off the intake manifold https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho...x+coolant+pump

the short way, pulling the pump out from the rear (towards the passengaer compartment) https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho...php?p=14547593

i wear m/l size gloves and i didn't find things to be that hard. get some good long handled pliers from any auto shop and you'll be set. i did mine the short way, mostly because i'm lazy.
