ok so the water pump neck piece, aka thermostat cover thing that connects to the upper rad hose, split apart on me today (actually on my friend, who didnt turn my electric fan on as a i instructed him too before taking my car for a trip).
i have a ghetto fix with hose clamps and some hose and aluminum duct tape holding it together and preventing it from leaking but i'd like to get a replacement.
anyone selling one or know the best place to grab one online? im hoping the junkyard still has a motor so hopefully i can grab one but its doubtful.

I have some S4 ones but you will need an S5 one, I havent seen many S5's in junk yards, good luck 
You might want to swap over to the S4 WP/housing/thermostat housing assembly, that setup has an aluminum one that won't crack like the plastic one does.

I wish I could, but I just sold bigturbo74 my last S4 water pump housing
Don't forget the shims on the studs protruding from the front housing when you do the job, they go on the studs that don't get the gasket on them.
I'll let you know if I come across anything in the next few days.
