Engine Cooling System Problems of Audi A6

I took my car in for a recall regarding the after-run coolant pump on December 10th to 27,2019. They performed the recall service. They charged my extended warranty for the service repair. At the end of January 2020 the epc light came on and on 2/10/2020 the Audi dealer indicated that the after-run coolant pump was defected because it was plastic and it can crack easily which is what happened and they indicated that they replaced it. They suggested that I have a flush of the fluids and I told them I would look outside of the dealer for these services. On 2/23/2020 the epc light came on again. This time the dealer is indicating that there was a build up of debris and is causing the coolant pump to malfunction. However, they are stating that this is due to my negligence of not flushing the fluids. I asked why the fluid would not have been changed the two times they replaced the coolant pump? they said they do not flush the system they only put back what was lost due to the change of part. I took my car for a second opinion and the new mechanic called the Audi dealer to get a clear understanding of what needs to be repaired. He examined the car and removed all parts in question. He indicated that the after-run coolant pump has a filter bag that has broken open and expelled pellets throughout the entire cooling system. He will now have to repair the entire cooling system to ensure that these pellets are cleared out. He indicates this is bad design on the manufacture and there is no way anyone the dealer nor him can with 100% certainty get all the pellets out. These pellets can stay stuck in any component of the cooling system and dislodge at any time and cause the damage to occur again. Can you please let me know if I can request reimbursement for the coolant pump recall even though they have already replaced it once?.

2000 Audi A6 4. 2l v8 quattro engine cooling system failure. The plastic coolant pipe between the oil cooler housing and the engine block fails causing potential catastrophic coolant loss, overheated engine and potential fire. The plastic pipe hardens/crumbles with age, approximately 10 years and 135k miles. I replaced the pipe. . . It takes about 10 manhours. The replacement Audi part is maybe $20 but it is still plastic. I replaced it with a billet aluminum part with double o-rings. Dealer wanted $2900. 00 to repair!! I understand this part is on every 4. 2l v8 on both A6 and a8 cars from 1998 to current 2010.

A strange noise from the engine compartment of a 2000 A6 Audi began several months ago. The noise became progressively louder. I then suspected a water pump malfunction was forthcoming. The vehicle was taken to an Audi dealer for evaluation. They determined that the water pump was defective, and recommended a replacement. Most people would not have recognized this noise and an on road accident could have taken place on a freeway when the engine would have overheated and seized. Since there was only 31500 miles on the vehicle I am concerned that this type of problem occurred at all. Either the pump shaft was bent by an over tightened belt or the part was defective at manufacturing point. (the belt has never been adjusted after purchase).

Water pump failed suddenly at 56,000 miles while on vacation trip. Car immediately overheated, and was not drivable without risk of serious damage to engine. Occurred several hundred miles from nearest Audi dealer. Cost to replace over $600 plus $400 for hotel & food for two nights (work performed by local vw dealer becuase nearest Audi dealer several hundred miles away; had to wait overnight for parts to come from Audi dealer; Audi USA will not warrany vw's canada's work, only parts, even though Audi is a subsidiary of vw). .
