- Coolant leak through weep hole
- Play at water pump pulley shaft indicating a bad bearing
- Squeaking noise coming from pump at idle
- Overheating conditions
- Low coolant light on instrument cluster indicating a cooling system leak

Coolant leaking from the weep hole, play at the pulley shaft, a squeaking noise at idle, overheating, or a low coolant warning on the instrument cluster.

Yes, this is a Graf-manufactured water pump (PA1228) built to OE specification for the applications listed above.
How do I know if this fits my exact vehicle?
Click through the vehicle groups above to check your specific year, trim, and engine code — the 3.0L V6 was used across multiple Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen models with different engine codes, so confirming yours ensures correct fitment.
Should I replace anything else at the same time?
A water pump job is a common time to also inspect or replace your thermostat, coolant hoses, and drive belt, since they're often exposed during the same service.
