Davidacarrick Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Can anyone help me out with locations of where the electric water pumps are located on the 2015 Audi a6 2.0 tdi ultra? Obviously there is one of the engine that is attached to timing belt. Theres an electric one right next to the oil sump under the engine. Driver side on a RHD vehicle. There is a pump behind the passenger side bumper/light unit under coolant tank However my mechanic seems to think there is another electric pump somewhere but isn’t telling me where and I can’t find anything online! Any help would be much appreciated….picture would help even more! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS the only electrical bit on the main pump is the baffle the rest is cam belt driven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidacarrick Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 Is that the water pump that is attached to the timing belt your meaning? The switchable one? I’m meaning more the electrical support pumps.there is definitely one under the engine right under the DPF/EGR but not sure if there is another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear wiper packed up earlier….that’s a mess in there Hi they fail because the water for the washer flows back down the spindle and through the rubber grommet in the window, took me a while to work that out, so when you replace the motor also replace the grommet with a liberal coating of silicone grease, grommet is about £16.00 on eBay, had three motors on mine but the last one was still good when the car went so the grommets definitely a winner.
