...hopefully that means my waterpump is now invincible
Anyone has the part number of the o-ring connecting to the coolant pipe in front of the engine that we have to replace? Is it already in my list below?
PS how many liters of mixed water/coolant do I need?
So far I got the following list..
Water pump replacement:
MUST:
1. Water pump + termostat + temp sensor + gasket: 06H121026CQ [AVL] (x1)
2. Belt: 06H121605E [AVL] (x1)
3. UNION: 06H121131C [?] (x1)
PLUS:
4. Seal: WHT006407 [?] (x1)
5. Seal: 4E0121666 [?] (x2)
6. Screws: N10700202 [?] (x2)
7. Seal: N90316801 [?] (x1)
8. o-ring to coolant pipe in front of the engine
FWIW My dealership blaimed the failure on a slight oil leak coming from the cam bridge and chain cover. The oil was dripping down the block onto the seal of the waterpump causing the seal to fail.
Dealership replaced the seals of both and the oil leaks are now gone, hopefully that means my waterpump is now invincible

WORD OF ADVICE:
Make sure to clean around the WP housing. Contaminates of dirt and oil will cause premature damage to the "newly replaced water pump.
should be a given, but yes anything that mates to the block should have a clean surface before install. wipe it down with some wd40 or brake cleaner on a shop rag. :thumbsup:
