Audi Water Pump & Thermostat Housing 2.0T EA888 Gen 3 (06L121011B)

Highly Recommended. The water pump is driven by a small, dedicated toothed belt located under a plastic cover on the side of the engine. Because hot coolant has likely been leaking onto this belt—chemically degrading the rubber—it is a mandatory best practice to replace this belt (and its reverse-thread mounting bolt) while the system is apart.

Yes. There is a small plastic union pipe that connects the water pump housing to the engine's oil cooler. This pipe becomes incredibly brittle from heat over time. Attempting to reuse the old pipe almost guarantees a massive coolant leak upon reassembly. Always buy a fresh union pipe and lightly lubricate the O-rings before pressing it in.

While several aftermarket companies have engineered all-aluminum housings to combat the plastic warping issue, results are highly mixed. Many cheap aluminum units suffer from poor internal casting quality or weak electronic thermostat actuators that trigger persistent Check Engine Lights. Sticking to the latest revised OEM plastic unit ensures flawless electrical compatibility with your Audi's ECU.
