[urq] New quattro

[Schaible, David]

That is my auto with the black ronals, normally people don't refer to me
by name, just as "that guy with the black ronals".......

The fenderwells are a good idea but I was thinking one of the electrical
type systems "sacrificial anode" that they use to keep submarines from
disappearing when dunked in salt water.....i don't know what they do to
the streets in boston but usually the difference between a NE car and
one in kaleefohnia rather dramatic.

Hey guys, thanks for all the great info.  I'll have to look into 
swapping the coolant for the boost gauge, that may kill two birds with 
one stone.  I did notice a strange (empty) vacuum filter in the glove 
box, so that may have occured before.

On installing this coolant gauge-let's say I get the gauge, and get it 
properly wired up.  The temperature sensor is my biggest concern.  I 
found one at the front of the engine under the radiator hose, and I've 
found sensors available on ebay for less than $20.  If I bought one, 
swapped them, installed the gauge, what will I need to wire?  Right 
now, there is only one wire coming out of the sensor.  Though I haven't 
traced it, I figure it goes to the ECU or something.  Will I have to 
run a second wire?  Can I just swap the sensor and reconnect the one 
wire?  The ones on ebay show a plastic connector with what appears to 
be 2 prongs.  The one on my car is just a single outlet with no plastic.

As for rustproofing- what are my options?  Undercoating, regular wash 
and wax?  I'm not in buffalo, but rather in boston (and sometimes 
syracuse) but the car will see significant snow.

#3, my windshield washers don't work.  The wipers go, there's fluid in 
it, the tubes are clear and ready, but nothing is going.  It's got to 
be the pump, but before I replace it, could it be the wiring?  Should I 
just scrap it and get a new one?  There's some on ebay for 15$ or so.

Lastly, thanks so much for the help already.  You guys are fantastic, 
I've already got answers to a bunch of my questions.  Just some 
comments on my car- I have electric diff locks, should I expect there 
to be a vacuum behind it anyways?  My seats are original, but I have no 
intention of refurbishing them.  They look fine, but the driver's side 
bolster and back switch don't work.  If I replace them, racing seats 
will probably go in.  David- is that your car with the black wheels?  
It looks good, but I'm still on the line.  I'll try and get some photos 
so you can see what I mean when I say silver(ish).

Thanks, and expect more questions in the future.

-Andrew
