Was this a service bulletin? I thought I remember reading that.

I'm going to my dealer to get the new water pump installed on Saturday, I wonder if they'll hook me up with the clip.

Hey is your pump leaking? Or are you just getting it done as a service recall?
I had my 2nd pump replaced with revision BG 8000 miles ago. Curious if they have another revision from the BG.

No, it's not leaking.

I just want to get it swapped out. My first one went it right when I got home from Big SoCal Euro last year, so I'm just doing this as a precaution.

I have the clip. I found it just laying on the subframe. Either it fell off or it was just left there. So I wonder if they started installing them on cars during PDI. But I've had that stupid rattle since the day I bought the car new.

So it was a service bulletin?? if i take it to VW they will give me one?? or install it for me?? or did i understand that wrong? If anyone has an extra clip and wants to get rid of PM me! :) Also, can someone post the website you put your VIN into to see if your lpfp is recalled??

So I just installed the clip. What a pain in the ass. I guess if the car is on a lift, it's easier. But on jack stand and laying on the ground, it is no way as easy as the video made it to be. After a long struggle and nearly ripping my forearm off, it's on. Will drive later after I get cleaned up.

So after some driving today, I can say the clip eliminated virtually most, if not all, of the rattle noise I have been getting from 2500 to 3500 rpm. Totally worth burning my arm installing this.

Interesting, in the video, the guy says it is not a VW approved fix. But my clip was on the car and has the Audi logo on it. I don't know if it was ever attached, because I've heard the rattle since the day I bought the car :iono:

I'm the guy in the video. The wording is simply because I was posting that as a car guy who wanted people to know how to get rid of the rattle, not as an employee of Volkswagen. VW paid us 24 minutes to install the clip, I wanted it to stay that way.
