Model: Audi A3 8V, MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Pump

The instructions in this guide will show us how to disassemble and replace the water pump of the Audi A3 1.4 TFSI. First, let's open the hood of the vehicle and start by removing the air filter box, then disconnecting the coolant hose (allowing it to drain into a container); after that, we will remove the thermostat assembly, unscrewing the screws of the water pump to remove it as well, as shown in the video. We will replace the water pump with a new original one and then top up with the new coolant.
