    B8 S4 Coolant Problems

    Just had a problem with my less than a year old S4. Is there any reported issues with the coolant system of the B8 S4.

    Recalls on water pump, they are junk. If it's plastic it will leak.

    Most 2010 models had a plastic water pump. Sometime in May 2010, the pump was updated to a better quality aluminum unit. Audi of America did not issue a recall for the pump. Instead, it was a service campaign, which means that they'll fix whenever the car fails or comes in for service.

    In addition, there was a recall issued sometime in April for the thermostat. This was not associated with the bad water pump, however. My car is a 2010 which was built in May of 2010. My water pump is fine, but I did get the recall for the thermostat.

    Here is a place where you can look-up any service campaigns and recalls for your car.
