Is it Possible to Change the Water Pump on an Audi A5 Without Recharging the Air Conditioning Gas?

Model: Audi A5 8T8, 8T3, 8T, 8F - Years 2007-2016
Part: Pump

This video shows the replacement of the water pump on this Audi A5, featuring an interesting method of moving the air conditioning radiators to one side of the vehicle instead of completely removing them. This avoids the need to replace the gas contained within, which is a considerable expense and a significant source of environmental pollution. This way, you only need to remove the cover and replace the leaking pump. Naturally, a range of professional tools is required, which are not available to us simple DIY enthusiasts; however, it is interesting to know that this operation is possible.
