[s-cars] Coolant leak and Servotronic

[Wylie Bean]

Probably is a crack in one of the flanges.  You can get the same pump (as sourced for the 2.7T I believe) for less than the one in ELSA for the AAN. Check me on the application but I know there's a cheaper alternative than what the dealer wants for the one spec'd in the AAN, and I think it's the very same part. I found this out after the fact.  It's a relatively easily swap either way.

Hi All-

I have a slow coolant leak.  I'm pretty sure I've found it.  With car hot
and idling, there is a slow drip coming from bottom of the after run pump.
It does not look like the hose.  And I don't think the pump is running when
I shut off the car, though I understand it can be tough to tell if it's
running.  I don't hear it or feel it.  Car was at operating temp, but
outside temp was only 50 F.  Not sure it it would normally be running in
that condition.  Anyway, does it sound like I just need to replace this
pump?  Thanks for the help.  (I tried to check knowledgebase, but it seems
to be down at the moment).

Also, Steve, I pulled my functioning servotronic relay out the day I got
the car.  I don't like the cadilac feel it gives you.  Anyway, I have no
idea what a fair price would be for it.  Feel free to make an offer.
(Pulled the one for my '01 A6 as well!)
