They had it for a week while I was in America.
Got this out
New one installed
Along with a new water pump drive as the edges of the hex were worn on both ends, something to look out for, it could have gone back in but Paul wasn’t happy with it so it was changed.
Brand new water pump installed too as there is an oil seal inside that, always best to change despite the cost, nearly £330 (from memory)
I also had a new radiator as mine had a tiny weep
Paul here doing his thing
They do the whole thing with the engine in the car, can do it as a drive in drive out job in 2 days. Using all genuine Audi parts. Total job comes in at around £2250.
The Phirm will also do the coolant pipes with the engine in, not a cut and shut job, they replace the entire coolant pipes with Audi genuine items for around £750.
If you’re based in the south and you need these big jobs done on your C6 then give Paul or Tim a call 01276 36848 and book it in.
