Just kidding, I just wanted your attention.

So,my water pump/thermostat housing is all messed up, like 4 holes are stripped and the gasket is fried. So I need a new one. Question is, are the S4 housings the same as the S5 ones, I have a non running S4 and I could take it off it. Thanks.

 

I could be wrong but I think they are the same, they look very similar at least.<edited for flaming>

 

it should work but u will have to keep the S4 nick if i recall correclty

 

if i remember correctly the S5 housing will hit the timing cover on an S4 engine so you would need to replace that as well, you could always simply heli-coil the threads.

and a torque wrench is your friend!

 

Thread title updated to have at least part of the actual question and problem with it.

Please only start threads with clear and actual questions

 

No, the water pump housings are not the same.
The water pumps are not even swappable.
