[s-cars] Windshield washer hose [WAS: Brake wear sensor question]

[Ivan Demkovitch]

List

Ok... I steel didn't use even 5% of my patience

Chasing broken wire - didn't find the place yet (BTW, when key is in ON
position - I should not have brake (O) light illuminated and I can try for
12V at this time, right?)
BUT. I found broken hose behind P/S reservuar. I'm sure I broke it when were
doing P/S pump and hose, but I also sure it was time for this thingy to
brake.
It looks like it is a hose going to the hood and nozzle. 

So, this is my priority now. I can just cover it with rubber piece but
something tells me that it will brake somewhere else.
Questions:
1. BTDT?
2. Where to get replacement and what kind?
3. What else might go in this area? I would like to RR it in most complete
way.

Thanks as always,
Ivan

Ivan,
many years ago when your car was still in Larry's possession he once had 
the pads replaced in some unscrupulous garage that installed some cheap 
aftermarket pads w/o the embedded wear sensors. Which in turn had 
tripped the Autocheque.

After that he brought the car to me for the diagnostic. I cut off a 
couple of female (a.k.a. "the mother") connectors  off some old pads, 
shorted their wires and plugged them into the brake harnesses to fool 
Autocheck into thinking that the pads were OK. I also told Larry to keep 
an eye on the pad thickness since he no longer had the benefit of the 
Autocheck by his side. I told him not to worry about it too much and 
just replace the pads with the proper ones the next time they were due 
for replacement.

Evidently one of the connectors hastingly hacked by me has come loose 
and/or lost contact. Remove them, undo the electrical tape, solder the 
ends and plug them back in. You're going to perform the BBB conversion 
soon, right? In this case I wouldn't spend another minute on fixing the 
crappy G60 since you'll be adapting the Porsche pad sensors to the Audi 
harness anyway....
