Technical Service Bulletin Technical Background Coolant loss from the coolant thermostat housing (Figure 1, position 1) or the coolant pump (Figure 1, position 2). Figure 1. Coolant thermostat/coolant pump. Parts are available separately, see parts table below. Production Solution Not applicable. Service Note: Refer to Warranty Policy and Procedures section 3.21.9 (Only category 3 leaks in the table Categorization of leaks can be claimed under warranty). Check the cooling system for leaks according to the repair manual (pressure check). Only replace the leaking component (coolant pump or coolant thermostat housing). Proceed as follows: © 2021 Audi of America, Inc. Page 2 of 6 All rights reserved.

Technical Service Bulletin 1) Remove the coolant thermostat housing including the coolant pump according to Elsa at repair manual: Engine >> 4 - Cylinder Direct Injection >> 19 Cooling System >> Coolant Pump/Coolant Thermostat >> Coolant Pump, Removing and Installing. 2) Separate the water pump and coolant thermostat housing by removing the five connecting bolts (Figures 1 - 2). 3) Replacing the leaking component (coolant thermostat housing or coolant pump) with a replacement part, proceed as follows: • Assemble the coolant thermostat housing and the coolant pump and attach the five connecting bolts. • Align the two components against one another in such a way that both components are flush to one another in the areas marked in red (Figure 2). The thermostat housing must not be higher/lower than the coolant pump (run your finger over the three areas to check). • Torque the connecting bolts of the two components to 10 Nm. Figure 2. Securing bolts of the coolant pump (1 to 5). 4) Install the assembled coolant module to the engine. Make sure the bolts are only hand-tight at this point. © 2021 Audi of America, Inc.

Technical Service Bulletin 5) Check the toothed belt tension (Figure 3) by pressing the toothed belt together centrally between the two toothed belt sprockets. The measured distance of the backs of the toothed belt should be between 28mm and 30mm. A measuring caliper can also be used for toothed belt compression and measurement. Figure 3. Checking the toothed belt tension. The measured distance is between 28mm and 30mm: 6. Complete the installation of the coolant module according to the instructions in ELSA (Step 7 is not necessary). The measured distance is smaller than 28mm and greater than 30mm: 7) Adjustment of the toothed belt tension is necessary. Proceed as follows (Figure 4) for assistance: • Note down the measured value (e.g. 26mm) from step 5). • Remove the cooling module from the engine again, loosen the coolant pump bolts (Figure 2) and make adjustments as outlined below. • If the measured distance of the backs of the toothed belt (pressed together) is less than 28mm (e.g. 25mm), then the belt tension is too low. A slight adjustment away from the balance shaft is necessary (direction "a"). • If the distance of the backs of the toothed belt (pressed together) is greater than 28mm (e.g. 32 mm), then the belt tension is too great. A slight adjustment towards the balance shaft is necessary (direction "b"). Figure 4. Adjusting the toothed belt tension. 8. Tighten the five securing bolts of the coolant pump and repeat steps 4 and 5. © 2021 Audi of America, Inc. Page 4 of 6 All rights reserved.
