Water Pumps for Audi A6

The water pumps for Audi A6 vehicles play a role in keeping the engine cool during use. When you need to select a replacement, there are many options available. Here are some questions that may come up when making a selection.

A water pump moves coolant through the engine block, coolant hoses, and the radiator to maintain a proper engine temperature. Water pumps are powered by the crankshaft pulley through a serpentine belt. Some cars will have auxiliary pumps to aid in the cooling.

• Gather information on your vehicle. You will want to know the make, model, and year to find compatible parts. You can also use the VIN to get part information as well.
• Select a brand. If you prefer to use OEM pumps you can select from those made by Audi. There are also aftermarket and unbranded options available as well.
• Select a part. You can choose from complete water pump assemblies or individual component replacements.

• Impeller: This component is a series of fan blades connected to the pulley. The fan blades move the coolant through the system.
• Pump hoses: This component connects the water pump to the engine block and other components of the cooling system. The hoses are made of heat-resistant materials and allow the coolant to travel.
• Thermostat: The thermostat contains a valve and controls the flow of coolant out of the engine block.
• Pump pulley: The pulley in combination with the serpentine belt allows the water pump’s impeller to turn and move coolant.
• Auxiliary pump: Some vehicles will have an auxiliary pump that transports warm coolant to the heater core so that the cabin fans can blow out warm air.

• OEM: Original equipment manufacturer components are made by the same factory that produces parts for the auto manufacturer. OEM components are built to the same factory specifications and materials used on the factory installed parts.
• Aftermarket: Some companies will produce aftermarket parts that are built to original equipment manufacturer specifications. Others will produce pumps that change the coolant flow and are designed to be used with different types of radiators.

A water pump can move between 2,000 and 7,500 gallons of coolant in an hour. When the engine is running at lower speeds, the amount of power used to move the coolant goes down. The pumps on the Audi A6 are designed to keep the same coolant pressure similar to other centrifugal pumps.
