WARNING: Audi Putting People At Risk By Not Announcing Water Pump Recall

If you own any 2010 Audi you need to read this:

The water pumps on all these models are defective and, in an attempt to not spook dealerships and crowd their service departments, Audi is not telling people.

Their policy is to literally "wait until they fail" and then service them as they happen.

I got this info from someone directly involved with the situation and drivers need to be warned. Mine blew apart and the coolant drained out in about 5 mins. Just made it home before the car seized.

It doesn't surprise me that they are once again cutting corners (they have the worst customer care programs of any luxury car company) but if your family is in one of these on the highway...

TIP: Since it has an aluminum block, I was advised to actually drive it until you split the block and they have to give you a new vehicle because they are not sending out notices or making you aware of this known faulty part.

This problem is occurring on cars with less than 100 miles on them!
