Choose Your Pump: Genuine Pierburg CWA-100 or Vorsprung VWA-100
You love your Audi for its engineering, but you shouldn't have to pay a premium just to keep it performing at its peak. That's why this listing gives you the choice: the genuine Pierburg CWA-100-3, the real branded part, or our own Vorsprung Water Accelerator VWA-100, engineered and flow-tested to match it at a lower price. Same specs, same fit, your call on which one goes in your car.
Which One Should I Pick?
-
Genuine Pierburg CWA-100-3: The real, brand-name part. Pick this if you want the OEM-branded pump specifically.
-
Vorsprung VWA-100: Our in-house equivalent, engineered to perform exactly like the Pierburg CWA-100-3, at a lower price and backed by our own 2-year warranty.
Bottom line: both options meet the same flow, voltage, and control specs below. Pick genuine if the badge matters to you, pick Vorsprung if only the performance does.
This listing is pump only, no harness. Need one? See our CWA-100 Adapter Harness, or grab the Coolant Pump + Adapter Harness Kit for both in one order.

-

Vehicle Fitment

| Audi | Q5 PHEV |
NOTE: Fitment is based on an OEM part-number cross-reference to 4N0965567. Confirm this part number matches your vehicle's original coolant pump before ordering, since we haven't independently confirmed exact model years or trims for every application. Running the Audi 3.0T supercharged (EA837) CWA-50 upgrade instead? This same pump works there too, paired with our CWA-100 Adapter Harness.
Coolant Pump FAQ
What's the difference between the two pump options?
The genuine Pierburg CWA-100-3 is the real branded part. The Vorsprung VWA-100 is our in-house equivalent, flow-tested to the same specs, at a lower price and backed by our own 2-year warranty. Pick whichever fits your priorities.
Does this include the wiring harness?
No, this listing is pump only. See our CWA-100 Adapter Harness, sold separately, or the combined kit if you'd rather order both together.
How do I confirm this fits my Audi?
Check your factory coolant pump for OEM/VAG part number 4N0965567. If that number matches, this pump is a direct replacement.
Does it need a tune or extra wiring to control?
No. Both options accept a standard PWM control signal, matching the control logic Audi's factory ECU already uses for the OEM pump.
Will this bolt up to the factory mounting location?
Yes. Both options use the same cushion-clamp mounting as the factory Pierburg pump, so no modification is required to install it.
A Word on "Genuine or Get Scared" Marketing
Some sellers love to tell you that anything without their exact stamped logo is a "cheap replica" waiting to strand you on the side of the road. It's a tidy story, and it happens to justify charging a premium of roughly 65% over what the hardware is actually worth.
We'd rather just give you the choice. Want the genuine Pierburg badge? It's right here, priced fairly. Want the same performance for less? The Vorsprung VWA-100 is engineered and flow-tested to the same specs, backed by a real 2-year warranty. Either way, nobody's scaring you into paying for a story.
-
Your Choice, Both Legit: Genuine Pierburg or Vorsprung's own equivalent, both flow-tested to the same spec.
-
Real Warranty Either Way: Backed by a 2-year warranty, no matter which option you choose.
-
No Fear Tax: You shouldn't have to pay extra for peace of mind, you need a pump that's actually built to spec. That's both of these.
Bottom line: if a listing needs to scare you away from the competition to make its own price look reasonable, that should tell you something about the price.
