During the Goss' Garage segment (see link below for more) Pat Goss was talking about cooling system components and said:

" . . . many water pumps these days have plastic impellers, like this one, and it cracked! It literally fell apart inside the car. That caused the engine to overheat, and the overheated engine blew the head gasket. It's kind of a long sad story, but the bottom line is the cooling system on that car was not properly maintained."

Hilarious! Of course he did not say Audi or VW, but it's very clear in the close ups:

And properly maintained suggests the owner's fault?! I really don't like his segment much...

MarTT

Yes he's always very vague, don't get much out of it.

Did you use spacer for the Porsche brake install?

I have the RS4s but it is a very similar offset as the fat 5s. Was it close?

AkRascal

Mine looked much like that, I am so ashamed for not maintaining it properly

MarTT

yes shame on you. ;-)

Mine had a harline crack @ the 50K TB change on the 225.
