Very helpful video. I was able to pull the water pump off with out placing the front end in service mode or removing the supercharger. It’s very tight but with the right tools you can get it off with limited removal of items.

You were able to replace the water pump without removing the supercharger? What about the t-stat? My water pump just dumped all the coolant and I'm in emergency repair. I really don't have the time to do the PCV and everything at once. I just need the water pump replaced for now. Please help with any insight. I have a 2015 Q5 TFSI 3.0.

@@mk_ultrarunner I’m waiting for my parts to come in but I didn’t need to pull the supercharger off to remove water pump on 2018 a6. It was a tight squeeze between engine to cooling fans. Not sure how much more space you have in a q5. For t-stat you’re going to definitely need to pull supercharger off. Make sure to use correct size torx but and don’t strip them. Take your time. Best to break water pump pulley bolts loose while belt is still on.

@@andrequiroz4657 Thanks. It's still a tight squeeze but I definitely don't want to put the car in to service mode. Gonna be a real pain with all those coolant lines to remove still. I may just go ahead and remove the supercharger to get the t-stat and water pump done, but the PCV body may have to be a different project for a different day. I suppose if the PCV was the primary issue (I do have a code, but no dash lights), I would go ahead and do everything, but my car is undriveable at the moment.

Does a failed pcv valve cause coolant to mix with the engine oil? I had a lot of oil in the cylinder heads I had to remove the spark plugs and crank the engine manually to remove the oil out. I’m also thinking it could be a failed head gasket no too sure! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

Failed PCV could cause oil/water mix but so could head gasket. Perform a compression test and leak down test before you do anything else. You can also do an exhaust gas test on coolant expansion tank. Is the exhaust smoking at all?

Why if the pcv wasn’t a white top you would have to get the ecu retuned ?
@FindingSeconds

The TSB below has all of the details. Long story short, the older PCV ran the crankcase pressure higher than the new one. It resulted in increased oil consumption. Switching to the new revision the ECU has to be reflashed to stop it throwing a code when it see’s a lower crankcase pressure. Hope that helps! static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10119987-9999.pdf

Hello I have a question about a 2019 A7. I'm having an issue with the vaccum line connected to the water pump. My water pump model is the one with the shroud that prevents coolant flow to warm up the engine faster... I'm having an issue where when turned on from a cold start, the vaccum line does not stop vaccum push when the engine reaches operating temperature, which then causes the overheating error. In your experience, what would be causing the vaccum line to not release when the engine reaches operating temp? I usually have to let the vehicle seat for maybe 5 to 10 minutes from a cold start before I can start driving with the overheating error to pop up.

@@FindingSeconds no I am not. I recently replaced the water pump, thermostat, coolant bypass valve, pcv unit and PCV valve. All done at local German shop so not audi dealership and I'm wondering if something wasn't done right. But back to the vaccum line, I took it to Audi last week and they couldn't find anything. No leaks nowhere. So based on my symptoms, i am assuming it's the water pump vaccum line because it only overheats within 5 minutes of a cold start and ONLY if I drive it soon as the rpm drops after the initial start... If I let it sit and let the coolant reach 3+ ticks on the coolant gauge, I can drive it all day without issues and floor it all I want. Which leads me to think that it's the shroud covering the expeller in the water pump that's not withdrawing down, which then tells me there is a constant vaccum push keeping it up. So I'm not sure if it's my ECU that's damaged or whatnot.. Also I just remembered, I replaced the coolant temperature sensors, 2 of them... The ones I replaced them with did not have the same part number as the ones the Audi dealership wanted to use, but the Audi website did say that the part I bought was applicable to my model year and make.

Take a look at the TSBs for your car. There is a video on the channel that show you how to look them up on the government site. Long story short, some parts are superseded by Audi and when they are it requires a software update to be compatible. If you can find a TSB related to the sensors or the thermostat it might help you track down your issue.

Hi guys i have an SQ5 2017 B8.5 , recently a fault code has appeared “P1B1C00” as i found out it’s related to the coolant system codes , i changed a new water pump and some other check up but still there . Everything is looks brand new in the car The only symptom that i can feel is when accelerating i can feel there is something wrong between the gears when it shift from one to another . A weird sound “Trrrrrrrr” that’s the closest to the sound 😂 . I am not sure if it’s from the gear or the engine But i couldn’t find out where is the real problem . Any ideas !!

Sounds more like a transmission problem. If the engine revs freely, and if you put it into a single gear and can go in/out of the throttle without the noise.. more than likely not the engine.

Hey man, really good vid going through that process :) Good detail and pacing, easy to watch. Mines coming up to 85k miles so no doubt will need to attack all this soon. Good tip about the doors, it priming the fuel pump as they open could definitely catch people out. Have seen mixed results with injector cleaning on these as people say they cant be flow tested properly afterwards due to the testers not having high enough pressure? So maybe worth getting new ones while you're in there. Will be cool to see the intake cleaning Just as a couple of extra steps, I'd also clean the leaves out from under the cowling cover, as even though it was vacuumed on top I found a load of leaves under there which could start to build up water. Also on mine I've had the oil pressure sensors fail. There was actually a TSB on them (2036761/1) and the updated p/n's are: Top sensor 038919081P Rear sensor 06E919081G They're like £30 for both sensors and relatively easy to replace (more room with s/c off but not necessary) and well worth it to do because the low/no oil pressure warnings certainly get your attention the way it beeps madly at you 😂

Too much plastic on the engine bay, and to be topped off by plastic prop on the pump (OEM)... an absolute must DO... change the water pump and the PCV valve and at the same time take advantage to de-carbon the intake valves, add the thermostat and get all the plastic replaced, I know the logo and front vista on the engine look nice but it is better to get rid of them... way much cooler engine, at last get some new belt tensioners and guide pulleys...

I added parts individually to save money, but would have been better off just ordering everything. I did buy a new clamp and the hose looked good. However, after everything that I thought caused me to replace the PCV body, I'm still getting a PCV regulator code. Great! The one code I thought was the PCV body is actually the dumb breather hose.

If the pulley is wobbling it’s either not attached to the water pump correctly or the water pump has failed. Definitely worth checking. Squeals can be caused by many things but a new belt once you have fixed the wobbly pulley should eliminate that.
