Hi,

I realized that the Q5 plastic water pump has become a major problem for Q5 owners. I have forwarded this problem to my dealer and without questions, he replaced my plastic water pump to a metal water pump with a thermometer.

Can anyone please post some pictures of the location of the water pump when looking underneath the hood? Thank you in advance.

2013 Q5 2.0T, 52,000 miles – initially got the warning light low coolant in reservoir, topped off with water, leaking persisted and increased over the next few months. Diagnosis with pressure test was coolant leaking from water pump (side of the black plastic housing) and replaced water pump (part # 06H121026DD), charged 4.5 hrs labor but it actually to over 6 hrs. Repair cost $982, includes 5% first time customer discount asked for at time of pickup. (other quotes bet. $1000-$1300, and some might charge separate diagnostic fee $90-$180)
