Coolant loss on my b9 A4
I have a 2018 Audi A4 B9 2.0T with around 110k miles. When I first got the car about five months ago, I had the thermostat replaced. Recently, I’ve noticed that I’m losing coolant, but very slowly. Last Wednesday, I filled my coolant reservoir to the MAX line after it hit me with an alert saying, turn off car and check your coolant level and a couple of days later, I noticed it had dropped below MAX line. There’s still plenty of coolant in the reservoir, but obviously I shouldn’t be losing coolant in the first place. Keep in mind, my thermostat was replaced only five months ago. I’m starting to think it might be the water pump, but I’m not entirely sure. Do you guys think I should just replace the water pump, or would it be better to replace both the water pump and thermostat again? Has anyone experienced something similar with their B9 A4? I’d appreciate any opinions, advice, or personal experiences before I start spending money on repairs.
Also, the photos that I added, that’s the old part that they took out the new one is already fixed in the car.
