[s-cars] Water Pump Replacement

[Fred Munro]

Douglas;

You don't need to remove the timing belt to change the cam sensor, you just
have to remove the cam pulley. The timing belt comes off the cam pulley, but
you don't have to remove the crank pulley, which is the big PITA with the
t-belt job.
I've always used the Audi rebuilt water pumps and have had no problems with
them.

Listers,

While driving on the freeway yesterday, the 95.5 S6 Avant dies.  The tach
dropped to zero - no power.  Was able to get off the freeway and do some
thinking.  On Monday, Anderson Motor Sports pulled the codes as a result of
some previous engine kills and stumbles at highway speeds.  The code pointed
to the cam placement sensor.  If that is what caused yesterday's problem, I
understand that the timing belt has to come off to replace it.  If true, I
will be doing a belt/pump change.

What is the lists conventional wisdom on pump replacement?  Audi rebuilds
vs. less expensive aftermarket types.

All thoughts welcome.
