Early water pump failure sign?
Just seeing if I’m overreacting or not, but I’ve heard of the notorious water pump failures on B9-B9.5 Audis. I have a 2021 Audi S5 with 40k miles.
Haven’t noticed anything wrong with the car, but I went to check the coolant level today and it needs to be filled up, and there’s dried coolant on the top of the reservoir as you can see in the picture.
Just for safe measures I checked my vacuum solenoid as well and it’s bone dry, I also don’t see any dried coolant anywhere else.
Am I safe? What should I look for? Should I take it to a shop?
