[Vwdiesel] New head gasket

[LBaird119@aol.com]

  MB uses them quite a bit.  They're simply a booster pump for the heater 
and an after-run for the turbo on those.  Audi has a cooling fan that blows 
on the intake manifold and injectors.  Not sure about a water pump.  (I 
usually hear about these things when visiting a friend's shop while he's 
replacing one of the new-fangled items!)  ;-)
