Replaced my water pump with ease thanks to this video. I did run into other issues throughout the process like breaking the temperature sensor clip. Also my timing belt was broken so that was a very tough process getting the belt around the pulley but it all worked out. My sensor clip comes tomorrow and we’re back on the road thanks my guy.

I feel like I deserve a mechanics bill or a vo tech tuition fee. Can't say thanks enough.

Other youtubers use time lapse. You just work fast as lightning. ⚡ It's a pleasure to see: how you have optimized every single step!👍

Every mechanic with a $80K truck & tools that showed for me took 3-4 hours; or couldn't finish the job/didn't know how, or charge a fortune. Every mechanic I've had that tosses his tools on the ground and goes full turbo is a winner. Simply gold Naptown Tuner; be loud and proud for what you do to help others !! I can't even turn a wrench half way without losing my mind; I lose all the bolts n nuts in 3mins....:) What a gem you are, God Bless America.

Holy WOW! If only I was half that good. Love watching your videos. My water pump is fine, so far, I just like watching a master work!

after 1 bloody month of trying to figure out what's wrong with my water pump, you just showed me everything! here in kenya, not many mechanics know about this kind of waterpump falure. thanks a lot man! God bless!!!

I have zero mechanics knowledge. I watched your video over and over, made notes, ordered a graf water pump and did this myself in about and hour and a half. Seriously, thank you for saving me $700 in labor.

Thank you Audi, for making the waterpump belt such a breeze. Not only was it sooo easy to make every tooth align with the tightest tolerance, but I also appreciate the sharp fins to cut my fingers.

The value of experience when it comes to doing something both correctly AND quickly is insane. Nice work

Your mechanic charged you cheap still. 2jug G12 coolant 60$, water pump 400-550$ ranging depending on quality. 5-6 hour labor ranging 500-600$. 950$ is on cheap side at least here in toronto.

Something will break, or not come off, or not work after. 900 is fix price, I hope.

Cannot thank you enough, without you I couldn't afford an audi, and there is rarely anyone who posts anything half as helpful as you! One comment for my install, autozone brand pump looked identical but could not get it into position, just close. Even tried with ratchet straps, nothing would get it. Without the coupling, it went in easy. Took the coupling and sanded it down slightly on each end, less than 10% removed between tips and o ring groove, and then it slipped in fine. My old pump was cracking, and one of the cracks was on the lip of the coupling spot, so I think the coupling was too long and putting pressure there. Not sure if maybe coupling was after market, but I can be sure that next time something breaks I'll be searching your channel again. World needs more heros like you!

Thank you for this awesome video, all your videos actually. Just got done replacing my 2011 A5 pump. Couldn’t of been easier, your video walked me through it step by step. Appreciate all that you do for us DIYr’s. Keep up the great work!!!

Thanks so much for the Audi A4 water pump video. I live in Montgomery Alabama and the cheapest price I could find to install a water pump was 700.00 bucks, so after watching your video I did it myself. Took about two hours. Thanks again!

You just taught me a lot on audi. Repairs for this car are expensive. I did water pump now about to do oil leak. My nephew will be happy for his car. Thanks man.

DUDE! you are the man when it comes to "do it right and do it fast" great video once again,keep it up👍💪

Thank you for doing this video! I'm not a mechanic but I sure felt like one after I replaced the water pump on my wife's 2017 Audi A6. Your video gave me the confidence to make the repair. 😎

Great Video! My A5 has a water leak and I narrowed down the area and fortunately ran across your video. I replaced lots of water pumps, but never on to 2.0t. Very different from American V8s. The video is going to save me lots of time figuring out how to do. THANK YOU!

doing a water pump on a 2016 q5 at work. mini tech but it's a used car so i got to do it. anyway your video made the exploratory surgery go super easy. start to finish in about an hour. thanks brother i really appreciate it

Dude. Excellent video. Straight to the point and made me feel confident in replacing my own water pump. You've got another subscriber. Please keep up the hard work!

Wow! Fast, efficient and very detailed. You gained a subscriber and a like from me today. Looking forward to viewing your previous videos and the new ones you'll be making in the future.

Just bought a 12’ q5. This guy is quick. Love it! No 2 hr long video. 20 minutes bro

currently doing it ! everyone was scared to work on the car this man saved me money and time!!

Nice work ! This is exactly how automotive videos should be made ! Thanks for getting to the point, and good on Ya for the great video !!

I watched other videos where they took more things apart and sit there and talk for 5 minutes. I just wanted to see the steps to get the pump out. Can't believe one guy wants to charge me $450 to swap the pump. After watching your video I'm going to do it myself. I'm pretty handy, done engine swaps and been working on cars myself for over 20 years so I always try to do stuff myself unless I have to buy an expensive tool that I'll only use 1 time. You make it look very easy and just move stuff out of the way rather than disconnect everything. One guy even pulled the intake manifold off for more room.

I want to thank you for this video, I done these water pump replacement in the past on Audi I always remove the intake,but u didn't thanks I did it as you showed awesome, and very impressive God bless you for doing this video

Wow been looking for a channel like this for months. Thank you !!

Just had my 2013 Q5 2.0t (My first experience with Audi) water pump (Plastic?🤣) replaced and the mechanic replaced it with a metal one, it was $1,100.00 ish. Also, had an OC and some bulbs and other minor things done. So far so good... Thanks for all your tips, I love your channel.

These are the exact two problems I am now having with my 2016 A4. Thank you for a clear concise repair video!

I have similar problem with my 2012 Q5 now, its too dark to look at it now but went through a Gallon of G13 so far, so I know a problem exists with a small puddle under vehicle. Not sure i need a water pump, maybe just a hose, but your video's give me confidence at what to pull apart first to get to these tight spaces. Luckily i have a few spare cars to drive to work all week and can look at this on the weekend. NaptownTuner does the best video's by far, on Audi repair. Thank you.

Your videos are amazing. Did this myself, first time wrenching on my A4. Thanks!!

11/10 vid, straight to the point, tips and notices are given left and right. Helped my dad and I replace this. You earned a follow sir.

I have 3 Avants and the 3rd failing pump I've replaced by myself ...thanks for being straight to the point. Ed

Dude this is so helpful. I will need to do this job soon because my water pump is leaking but its a very tiny leak right now i only have to top off coolant every month or so. Seeing this now it looks pretty straight forward.

Excellent Video. Straight to the point without any unnecessary stuff

You’re the man bro. This is exactly what I was looking for. You’re probably one of the very few that have this video up. Thanks.

I’ve never seen someone use that m18 impact in such close quarters. Very impressive my friend.

Thanks for the great video! I just did this job… replaced the OEM plastic pump with a Reinz aluminum. Very nice and made in Germany. The original pump seemed to be in really good shape (101k on the car), but the thermostat was opening early so the engine was never getting above 85°C. So we decided to just replace the whole thing. I was forced to go buy a set of triple square sockets because the bracket you mentioned was still on the car, and I needed one to remove it. Also, getting the new pump on was a BEAR because the gasket kept falling off. In retrospect I probably should have dabbed on a bit of ATV to hold it in place. Also, I was able to change the belt by just loosening the sprocket. I didn’t have to completely remove it. Perhaps the most surprising thing to me is the sheer number of cuts I now have on my hands… I’ve worked on a lot of cars in my life and I don’t think I’ve ever worked on one with so many sharp edges! Haha Good news is the engine now gets to about 101°-102° C and stays there. Hopefully the P2181 code will be no more!

Naptown Tuner I love your approach to all the repairs. Just let get in do it and be done immediately. You are the best bro.

Best video I’ve seen on how to’s- you made the belt and seating look like a cake walk which definitely was not easy lol speaks to your experience tho! Thank you so much!

thanks naptowntuner. I'm a big fan of you and because of you I was able to do the water pump job on my audi perfectly. Keep up the good work sir :)

Great video! Great customer service too. Only 29 minutes to change that water pump? My gosh I think it would be half a day for me. But after this I’ll do it myself. Local shop quotes $450 just in labor for the water pump

Oh my hat car to a mechanic cause the coolant light went on, its the 3rd day at the workshop and you say 20 minutes. Dear me, let me call him again cause really may be he does not have tools. Thank you now I know what a water pump is. Bless up
