Frank - Audi issued an extended warranty on the water pump. Demand the replace the water pump for free but have them check for leaks from the valve cover gaskets.
What Audi is not acknowledging is the fact that they are using faulty valve cover gaskets. The gaskets are leaking and the oil is dripping down the engine into the water pump seals causing the water pump to go out. I confirmed this with a mom and pop repair shop and the Audi dealership.
I fought with Audi to have the repairs covered by Audi but they were not helpful, they only covered the water pump. They charged me $1400 for the gaskets. Cut your losses and sell, stay away from Audi!
