HOW TO REPLACE A WATER PUMP ON ANY AUDI RS3 OR TTRS!
Рет қаралды 5,061
6 ай бұрынIn todays video i will be installing a new Audi RS3 water pump on my car! unfortunately Audi RS3's and TTRS's are know for leaking coolant. Over time the coolant overflow reservoir will begin to get lower, sometimes so low that you get a coolant warning light on the dash! common signs as well is the smell of sweet in the engine bay or a dry whitish/pinkish residue on the left side of the engine all the way down to even the belly pan on the car. the best was to tell is to remove the belly pan and look for signs of coolant. In todays video i will show you how i removed and installed my Auid RS3 water pump. Hopefully this helps because i could not find any good videos online on how to do it! I believe this is a very similar process for the pre facelift Audi RS3, TTRS, and RSQ3 and even the facelift 2017-2023 audi RS3, TTRS, and RSQ3! Hope this helps!

Just want to say "THANK YOU" for making this video. The video and information re spot on. Just finished my water pump swap on my 2018 TTRS and the process went just like your video! I even went and bought the $10 kit at Walmart. LOL Definitely straight forward and lots of steps, but not technically difficult. 10/10 and ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars! for your video of swapping water pump and nothing left out.

Dude this means a lot! I’m so glad I was able to help you! That $10 kit HELPS!!!! I wish I had a swivel or flex head 1/4 inch ratchet. Probably would have made the process a lot easier! Did the Walmart kit work for you? And I tried to be as HOW TO as possible! I was looking for a video like this when I wanted to do my water pump couldn’t find any so I decided to make one.

I try to, don’t wanna go into a project blind. I think I need to add a swivel/flex head 1/4 inch ratchet to the collection. Some how didn’t have to use a triple square for this project, although funny enough I bought a shallow head set just in case.

ty for this. i currently have the same problem but at 45k miles. If only pump had gone out when i upgraded to 034 mounts a while back.. it probably would have saved me having to take them off twice lmao. thanks for the pump link also because everywhere i had looked they were between 700-800$ for a rs3 pump.
@HaydenSchreier 6 ай бұрын
You are very welcome! I couldn’t find a good video for the FL rs3 so I decided I’d make one. Yeah def would have saved a little time. Remember you need new hardware. The local Audi wanted $1200 for me, everywhere online is $700+ lol. This guy I met in a FB group has a link on eBay for the pump so it’s legit. He sells a ton on eBay and it’s a NEW superseded pump, like the “revised” pump. (New part number) which should mean Audi fixed the previous versions problem.

Great video! Just ordered the water pump form your link. Does it include gasket with pump in box? Also, If I order all the bolts you have listed does it include every bolt the oem dogbone mount bolts long and short?
@HaydenSchreier 6 ай бұрын
The pump comes with the new gasket on it as well as the 3 screws that hold the water pump in. It’s brand new oem Audi. You can see in the video the new gasket/O-ring is on the pump. If you order the bolts off FCP euro, just click the link and order all the bolts separate. Yes they include the dog bone mount bolts, there are 3. Those will be new too. It comes with the extra bolt for the center bushing, you don’t need to order it as you don’t have to take the entire mount off. You only need to remove the two bolts that I had in my video not the third. Also make sure you have a 1/4 inch swivel/flex head ratchet. Probably easier than what I did in my video. Feel free to DM me on instagram and I’ll walk you through the process on what you need! My ig is in the description!
@Coopjab 6 ай бұрын
With all of this work you might as well get upgraded mounts and a new dogbone. This is definitely a helpful and in depth video.
@HaydenSchreier 6 ай бұрын
Haha if I did the dogbone mount I’d have to loosen the subframe. From the videos I’ve seen upgraded mounts are a lot stiffer and you’ll feel the engine at idle and when driving. Lots of vibration
@davej.6290 6 ай бұрын
Engine and gearbox mounts are not necessary unless they are worn. Dogbone mount is highly recommended, but no need to change the whole mount. You can get inserts which fit from top and bottom to fill the open spots in the oem mount. Therefor you don't need to drop the subframe.
@BENJAMIN_TTRS 6 ай бұрын
@@HaydenSchreier I have the racingline doggone mount inserts installed on my MK3 TTRS. The increase in NVH is hardly noticeable. Only very slight increase in NVH and only noticeable if trying to look for it. I've also installed their propshaft bearing alignment kit as well.
@HaydenSchreier 6 ай бұрын
@@BENJAMIN_TTRS did you just replace the insert or did you remove the circular bushing in the subframe? Is their much difference just replacing the dogbone mount shaft?
@derekmartz4320 6 ай бұрын
Unitronic or old ECE dog bone mounts are minimal NVH but definitely tighten things up when running a tuned car. Worth the cost, plus very minimal NVH. Also, 034 subframe sub frame collar mounts and rear sub frame mounts do stiffen car up some more without taking comfort from the car. They really help when cornering...just a bit tighter. A rear 034 sway bar helps with our cars understeer, but be careful to tight can make car oversteer a bit in some cases. I own a TTRS and those items definitely helped when running Stage 1+ e85 tune. Funny I watched video and below my water pump area it looks just like yours. Time to swap my water pump...nice video!! Keep going......

I like this videos of people that think they're technician, anyway, did u get why they're charging you 3,000? People don't understand being a tech is a profesion, knowledge and talent, skills
@HaydenSchreier Ай бұрын
they are charging $3k because they mark up the hell out of everything. every online audi dealer sold the water pump for $650. this Audi dealer near me wants $1300 for the part. as for labor they charge $300 an hour. Any Euro shop would charge half that. And i know that because i called and asked them

@@obmcdo yes its an awesome tool, its more of a want than a need. the entire job i tried to use hand tools on the car especially with tightening things just so i had more control over torque and to not cross thread anything.

Yes just a O ring seal where the metal touches and seals. But the outside surface is aluminum to aluminum. I haven’t seen that part fail. It’s usually where the water pump was casted and plugged that leaks

It is an extremely common failure point on these cars. The signs are all there too, low coolant in reservoir, coolant on belt, coolant on belly pan. You can also take the passenger wheel off and take the liner off like I did in the video and you will see all the dripping coolant.
