ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM NEWARK AIRPORT ON NJ TURNPIKE AT 1 A.M., THE WATER PUMP FAILED ON MY 2010 AUDI S4. THE COOLANT WARNING INDICATED A PROBLEM. I MADE IT TO A SERVICE AREA WITHIN A FEW MILES. I DID NOT WANT TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I OPENED THE HOOD AND FOUND COOLANT SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE ENGINE WITH STEAM RISING UP. THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER IN EDISON, NJ. THE WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED BY A REDESIGNED UNIT. AUDI HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THIS DEALER HAD OVER 100 VEHICLES RECENTLY TOWED IN THE LAST WEEK OR SO. I BELIEVE THAT IN CANADA AUDI VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THE WATER PUMP SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH THE NEW UNIT BEFORE CARS GET STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *TR
