[s-cars] F98 coolant pump thermoswitch drip/trickle

[Wylie Bean]

I agree in principle, but I'd bet twice my price at the stealer ( I never pay list at the dealer and don't order online) that they don't have one in stock. 
This is NC, not NH. I don't know how common the part is tho , so I'll make a call tomorrow.

I've had sensors fail catastrophically, and it is no fun. The fix is  
easy if you catch it before failure, can be painful afterwards. How  
much does the nearest stealer want for a new sensor?Prolly fairly  
short money in the grand scheme of things, and a relatively small  
tithe to the Audi Gods in advance of a big trip. Go get a new sensor,  
and enjoy a peaceful trip!
