[s-cars] Getting old. Somebody here *might* relate. (UrS-related)

[David Forgie]

 Recently, I couldn't find the 034121143E coolant adapter/flange/connecting sockethttp://12v.org/urs/AANWithCoolantFittingPNs.jpg   that I thought I had in my spares box (I 
was doing an inventory of my spares at the time of doing my   "Things that will fail on your AAN and
 strand you" post(http://forums.quattroworld.com/s4s6/msgs/200702.phtml   ).  Nope not there. 

Hmm....Then I decided that I has passed on it and didn't buy it (around $50) a couple of years ago.
  So I went to my local OE parts pusher (Kris at VM Autohaus) to a) check out the Boleros he has
 there and b) to order an 034121143E adapter/flange.  Kris looks at me funny and says, "I thought
 you bought one already".  I said, "I thought so too but I couldn't find it". So Kris checks my parts 
purchasing history and yep, I bought one in the summer of 2010.  Hmmm...

He had one in stock (and the N 90035103 O-ring), so I bought them. (For the spares box). (I can return it IF I find the other one).

On the way back home, I am thinking, I probably took advantage of the fact I had the coolant out of 
the engine when I did the timing belt in July 2010.  I know I did the rubber turbo coolant return hose
 so I *should* have done the coolant flange/adapter at the same time.

Or did I?  (I'll have to wait for the engine to cool down and have a look).

I guess, I need to leave notes for myself. (Duh)

Permission to laugh.
