Need secondary coolant pump!

[Beatty, Robert]

This is called the afterrun pump (i think) and its not essential.  I was
doing some steering rack work and cracked the fitting outlet of mine, talked
to my dad about it and he said just splice the 2 hoses together for now..
its not essential for running of the motor...so i just went to the hardware
store and bought an inline fitting and spliced the 2 pieces of hose
together.  Next time i see a 5KTQ in the junkyard ill grab one, but im not
buying it new.

ps Dad was a service trainer for Audi thats why im taking his word on it....
