Just today I noticed a wierd higher pitched squeak coming from just behind the radiator. This is my first Audi, and it sounds like possibly a water pump. Is that possible. There are 108000 miles on the car.

Check the serpentine belt and it's tensioner. Also the reat of the pulleys. Take the belt off and spin them by hand.

Good hunting and let us know. :)
