I have three after-runs on the ur-quattro - the turbo water pump, the injector
coolers and the main radiator fan.
The turbo water pump seems to be just a timer - it _always_ runs, even if the
engine is only run for seconds for tuning or testing purposes. It's very quiet
- even in a closed garage it's hard to hear. The injector cooling fan is driven
by a thermo-switch, but the thing gets hot enough to run after about four to
five miles. From home to the pub it never runs. The main radiator fan only
seems to run after a hot run on a hot day - when it does, it wakes the
neighbours.
