Survey: when have you encountered a failure of the Water pump on your 2.7T ?
I'd like to collect some data to see if there is a reason to shorten the Audi given cycle on a Timing Belt replacement.
Usually, if the Water pump goes sour it will have significant impact on the engine as well. The TB might last 100K+ miles, but how about the Water pump? And replacing one w/o the other just doesn't make too much sense considering the work associated.
Thanks for your contribution!!!

Not sure if it's different for the ar, earlier this year on the 2.7T forum it was stated that the
water pump and the cam adjusters are prone to premature failure on the 2.7T. I just want to get more details regarding the allroad, so far there aren't any posts about WP failure......and let's hope it will stay that way ;-)

FWIW If you have a coolant leak with G-12 or
any of the newer long life coolants it will take out your water pump. I would poll those who have lost water pumps to see if they had a leaky system.

Water pump bearings went at about 40K under warranty.
Sounded like a metal can full of ball bearings banging around under the hood when it went.
