What owners report
The contact owns a 2022 Audi SQ5. The contact stated that after repeated inspection of the engine, the contact discovered that the coolant level was constantly low. An independent mechanic performed a coolant pressure test and identified a leak caused by a tear in the diaphragm of the water pump. The contact notified the dealer and the manufacturer of the failure, and the manufacturer referred the contact to a dealer for the vehicle to be inspected. The dealer was notified of the issue, and the contact was scheduled an appointment. The water pump was replaced by the independent mechanic. The failure mileage was 50,210.
The car was at the dealership for a second time due to an emissions issue. While there the coolant light came on. After paying for a second evaluation, it was determined that the water pump was failing. Because of the water pump design, coolant migration occurred which can ultimately lead to turbo failure or catastrophic issues. After receiving a $7,000 estimate, we decided to order parts and do the work ourselves. It still cost about $2500 in tools and parts and 24 hours of labor to do it ourselves. Audi had a settlement for this exact issue on prior generations up to 2021. It is obviously reoccurring based on online complaints for the 2022 and a complaint for this exact issue with NHTSA. M

The condition was confirmed by the servicing dealer and repaired under Audi Warranty Extension U76,
On July 17,2026 my vehicle suddenly overheated. All warning lights came on and I stopped immediately. The car had to be towed to North Atlanta Audi for inspection and repair. I was told the waterpump had failed and corrupted the vacuum lines. There was no symptoms or previous warnings at any time. The repair bill was going to be outrageous. The service department person contacted Audi and they agreed to furnish new parts but I would have to pay all labor cost. I had no choice but to agree. During the repair the turbo charger was damaged when being removed. Audi again agreed to furnish the parts but I would have to pay for the repairs. I feel like this was a catastropic failure with the vehic
I am writing to bring to your attention a safety issue regarding Audi windshields that warrants further investigation. I own a 2022 Audi SQ5, purchased in December 2021 from Audi Wilmington.
