Some confirmation of Phil's wisdom

[Brett Dikeman <brett@pdikeman.ne.mediaone.net>]

After my spouting about needing a new IC, I found I really needed a new
multi-thermo-time-slices-dices-gizmo switch!  Seems the old one was sending
an "overheat" signal all the time.

I started to piece together things when the car was fogging up really badly
these past couple days(we Massachusetts folk have been blessed with
downpour after downpour) and I realized the A/C wasn't working(some helpful
souls suggested the recirc flap, but it turned out ok, spring still there.)

Well, the only component that affects boost and A/C is that damn($91 inc.
tax) multi-switch.

How did I test it?  I unplugged the connector, plugged in my brand-spankin'
new thermoswitch I bought, rested it in a little nook in the engine, and
went off for a little test drive, leaving the old one in place to function
as dead weight.  I figure I can deal with a non-working coolant guage for a
few minutes...

<turn on CC>
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh...  AC works.(only relief from humidity is the car!)

<throttle to the floor>
Wheheheheeheee!.  That works :)

A tribute to Phil Payne's wise statement of "most audi drivers don't need
performance upgrades, they need everything working properly"(or something
to that effect.)

Yay Phil!

Now I just have to wait for the engine to cool down, then swap in the new
one, getting soaked in the process thanks to the continuing rain...
