[s-cars] After-run coolant pump - was, high pressure fuel line leak help

[Tom Green]

Waste of time.
Audi has been using this same pump since they went to water cooling  
for the
turbo in '87 IIRC.  Exact same setup, exact same pump, exact same  
relays.
Nobody has published a satisfactory repair in all this time.  So,  
what do you do,
trust this shade tree solution where getting stranded is really  
inconvenient ?
At least, make a bypass coupling so you can eliminate the pump when  
it blows
apart and you loose all the coolant in less than a minute.   
Hopefully, you are not
in a place where you can't stop right away because the engine is  
unforgiving to
overheat conditions.
