[200q20v] secondary coolant pump

[Kneale Brownson]

Shogun pumps no longer are available.  They've stopped making them.  That 
report was on the main list last summer or fall.  Only sources would be 
some parts store's stock.  Someone posted on one of the Audifans lists a 
few weeks ago that they had a new Shogun pump they no longer needed and 
would sell it for whatever they paid, and it was gone within minutes of the 
first posting.
