Detailed Description

The aluminium housing and metal impeller are paired with a roller/ball bearing assembly to support consistent operation, while the 7-vane impeller design helps move coolant through the system. This part cross-references Dayco DP1252 and Hepu P582 for the same application. Use Metelli PA979 when servicing cooling system wear on 2005-2011 Audi A6 Quattro, 2005-2009 Audi A4 Quattro, 2006-2009 Audi A6, 2006-2008 Audi A4, 2010-2012 Audi S4, 2010-2012 Audi S5, 2009-2014 Audi Q7, and 2009-2012 Volkswagen Touareg applications. The PA979 part number is also a useful reference when matching replacement cooling components for these vehicles.

What It Helps Address

  • Coolant circulation problems caused by a worn pump
  • Engine overheating related to reduced water pump performance
  • Coolant leakage at the pump mounting surface
  • Noise from a worn bearing assembly
  • Cooling system service on Audi and Volkswagen V6 applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm engine code and OE cross-reference before installation, since these Audi and Volkswagen platforms can use multiple cooling system configurations. Inspect the mating surface, replace the gasket supplied with the pump, and verify coolant condition before refilling the system. After installation, bleed air from the cooling system according to the vehicle service procedure to help restore proper circulation.

Quality Assurance

Metelli supplies new replacement cooling components built to match the listed application requirements for fit and function. PA979 is supplied as a new water pump with gasket included and is specified with aluminium housing and metal impeller construction for service replacement use.
