AUDI A7 WATER PUMP PROBLEMS EDMONTON (3.0T SUPERCHARGED)
The Audi A7 Sportback with the 3.0T supercharged V6 — produced from 2012 to 2018 — shares the EA837 engine and its plastic water pump impeller failure with the S4, S5, A6, and Q7. Auto Imports repairs Audi A7 water pump failures for Edmonton owners.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does the Audi A7 3.0T have water pump problems?
Yes. The A7 Sportback uses the same EA837 3.0T supercharged V6 as the S4, S5, A6, and Q7 — and shares the same plastic water pump impeller failure at 80,000-130,000 km.
Should I also replace the Audi A7 supercharger belt?
Yes — we recommend inspecting and replacing the supercharger belt at the same time as the water pump. Both are in the same service area and the belt is inexpensive compared to the labour savings.
