Hey Paul,
Today I went to Inskip to see if they had the thermo switch for the
after run. I got there, the parts dweeb asks if it is a clear switch or
a white one. So I go out to my car to check. Lo' an' behold my fan is
running. But, the coolant pump is not. I pull a lead off the thermo
switch(ouch), and the fan continued to run. So, the fan is obviosly
controlled by more than one place with the ignition off.
So anyway, parts dweeb says he can order it, my cost $40. I ask about a
replacement Gas cap,(don't ask), Dweeb says I can order that too. My
cost, $79.Plus 10% freight, and I have to drive back there to pick it
up. So I asked why I have to pay freight if it isn't being shipped to my
house.
Basically that is the way it is. So I said scr-w this. Go home and call
Carlson Audi. $33 for the switch, $26 for the gas cap. Throw in 4 oil
filters @ $5something ea. and I'm in business. Oh, less than $10 in 3rd
day shipping. Needles to say I am not happy with the dealer. 300% markup
on a gas cap. SH_T!!
I just want to thank all for steering me towards Carlson. Usual
Disclaimers.
