Thanks for input on S4 Avant

[TM]

Ti,
The F hose was one problem, but haven't you heard all about the problems
with the TBB? Audi has gone through at least 3 iterations of the TBB now,
maybe even more, along with at least one redesign of the hose clamps for
the TBB.

I stand corrected on the afterrun system. I've gotten our A4tqw hot enough
that I could see the turbo housing glow bright red at night- I'm not
shutting
the car down with that heat still there, had to pop the hood and let the car
idle for nearly 5 minutes to cool the turbo down. At least I'm running
Mobil 1 to lessen the chance of coking in the oil lines.

Does the 2.7T have an auxiliary water pump as part of the afterrun system,
or is it just the electric fan that actuates? AFAIK, the 1.8T has nothing
of the sort. If it does, I'd be interested in knowing where it's located,
as I do not have the Bentley for the A4/S4.
