water pump on 1999 A4
Is it true Ron that if the water pump goes on a 1999 A4 1.8T it
damages the timing belt and then will eventually damage the Valves, I thought the water pump was on the Fan Belt. please give an insight. Moreover how much should a replacement of water pump cost? |

No. its a fallacy carried over from the V6 engines.
The water pump is driver by a v-belt from the power steering pump pulley which itself is driven by the ribbed serpentine belt. Don't replace parts unnecessarily !! It costs you money and disturbs other things.

I am not sure if the '99 is like that as well though. http://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2074923.phtml Cheers, Pete |

So you mean a 2001 A4 Engine is different than 1999?

"Buying a Used Audi" wrote > So you mean a 2001 A4 Engine is different than 1999? In certain ways, yes. For one, the 2001 has variable valve timing, upgraded turbo internals, and a few other things. The timing belt tensioner is different as well. I'm sure there are many other small things, too. If you're looking for a complete replacement kit (TB, tensioner, rollers, water pump, thermostat), check out the kits from www.ecstuning.com, (if you're in the US that is). Cheers, Pete |
