[s-cars] Coolant T (tee) replacement info

[Manuel Sanchez]

Dave,

No worries.

When I post, whether it's because I've figured something out or I  
can't figure something out, I hope that someone in the future will  
benefit, either way.

When I have the time I like to document information, such as the part  
numbers, and hopefully useful photographs, that will help explain the  
situation. I guess I still remember my Elementary School teachers in  
my head saying "show your work so I can understand what you were  
thinking" (or not thinking as the case may be).

While I like to tell my wife I'm perfect and always right about  
everything, I know that isn't the case. Just like I KNEW I was NOT  
going to go off at Turn 10 at VIR a few weeks ago, and well--guess  
what happened.

I'm still learning. I'll keep posting, even if later on it will show  
I had a brain fart

Regards,

-Manny
95.5 ur S6 Avant (mostly RS2'd)
