    Water pump confusion

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I'm hoping to replace the waterpump in my 09 B8 2.0TFSI this summer. Found a nice DIY thread with part numbers. However, having trouble finding what I need online. ECS Tuning has a bunch on their website but they all say "only for TSI" engines. So I guess ECS doesn't sell the water pump I need? How can I distinguish the correct water pump when looking online? Is there any websites you recommend to get these parts from? Saw something that looked good on FCP Euro, but some part numbers didn't match up...

    Thank you!

    Tsi, tfsi, same thing. VW just calls their engines TSI. They use the same pump

    This is a real PITA and you will need lots of patience and dexterity. Couple of comments- pay more and buy an OE WP that has the top hose neck that is held down with a screw and NOT a plastic clip embedded into the neck. Clip is inadequate and must be at just the right angle and lock position to engage fully, otherwise the neck will pop out and loose all coolant. Ask me how I know!
    As well, I was not able to loosen the cog wheel from the intermediate shaft so could not change the belt. Instead had to wiggle the new WP into place.
