Hello

I have a 2005 Audi A4 1.8 turbo and i need to change the water pump and my question is: do i really need to remove all the front of the car or if i remove the radiator only it sould be enough clearance to do the job

IDK but from what I’ve seen there’s not much room and removing the front end would probably make the job a lot less frustrating and would give you more room to make sure you get your water pump sealed right.

PS see if you can find a youtube video for that repair on your exact vehicle or similar. It would make finding all the front end fasteners a lot easier.

belt along with the water pump.
