Joe,
You may already know this, but it's worth a warning anyway. I installed that indigo thermostat and HX a couple of seasons ago, and it was hell trying to bleed air from the system. I started...

The last time I did this job (different A4) I had to remove the studs as well to get the head off. None...

Here are some photos of the dripping water pump. Looks like I could simply repack the stuffing box on it (or maybe the existing stuffing is OK?). I didn't quite understand how it worked when it was...
