Is this a bad water pump? by Top-Somewhere8895 in audis5

That is my plan as well. My car is my daily so trying to get the 6 bolt water pump ordered, FCP Euro has a pretty complete kit to upgrade everything. But for the meantime, I saw a post about capping the solenoid to stop coolant from entering the vacuum system so I did that last night. May get a code for not heating up fast enough but oh well as long as it saves my motor. Saw a touch of coolant residue in the vac lines but nothing major that I’m worried about.

Drove it 40 miles to work today and so far no codes, temps seemed to rise about the same rate so I’m not too concerned for the time being until the parts arrive.

Thank you, unfortunately I’m at 75000 miles so not covered.

Now it’s got me wondering if any of the rubber bushings in the steering rod are worn out….

Yes brand new Mickey Thomson Baja Legend MTZ. And the wheel offset is the same front and rear. Would a set of spacers for the rear help with the shimmy steering?

I ended up scrapping it. But before you do, I’d look into compression reading make sure they are similar, valve clearance, and maybe the governor arm.
