Hi, this is my third Audi, I've previously had two Cabriolets - very impressed with my A5 and I'm still trying to get used to all the electronic goodies!!

Does indeed look like water pump Donald - if belt driven pump. Kind regards, Gareth.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂

Whatever the cause, and it may be something else, get the dealer to sort it out.

Can I assume you have investigated the many suggestions listed in this topic over the past seven years?

Hi I'm also having the seme problem and I've done some investigation into it over quite a few websites and a few mechanics apparently it the door speaker mount seal . There is a mount that bolts to the inside of the door that has a seal that fails . The speaker then bolts to the mount which I also think has a seal to. When I rains heavy water runs down the window into the door panel by design but when the speaker seal fails the speaker is right at the bottom and the seals consetualy getting wet then drying out causing it to crack . My car been back in under warranty 3 weeks ago and I told them then what the fix was but they fitted the full internal door seal instead hence I still have the problem. I hope this I helpful to you. I had someone pouring water onto the door window as I took a video clip at the bottom of the door under the speaker between the door card and the door. If you have a way I could send the clip to you or try do what I did.

Sorted it now. After removing the foam moulding I found there were no securing screws for the steel trim as it appears to be the case in earlier models. You simply have to pull back the rubber boot seal along the length of the trim. Then inserting your fingers into flap in the trim you forcefully lift up the trim to release it from the two securing points. The issue for me was resolved by using a screwdriver to operate the boot catch with the boot open. That then locked the locking mechanism. I then unlocked the boot with the drivers door switch. This seemed to reset the locking mechanism. The boot then closed and locked fully.

Hi Sachs/LUK are the same company and are the only suppliers to most of the VAG group with the exception of Seat who use Valeo clutches on some models where the engines are SPA units. Steve.
