They may very well be speaking of the origin of the ethylene glycol when
they say it is oil based. Oil, or one of its fractions is cracked to
ethylene, oxidized into ethylene oxide in a second unit, and then reacted
with water in a third unit to make ethylene glycol.

Subject: Re: How is coolant oil based!?!
"oily"??? Well sorta. But really not an oil.
Maybe what people are _trying_ to say is "viscous, or greasy liquid". The
term "oil" often has, in many contexts, the specification of
water-insolubility, a test which ethylene glycol definitely fails. But
one
of the meanings of the term oil is: "any of various substances having the
consistency of oil" (i.e., viscous, greasy liquid). The viscous, slippery
nature of ethylene glycol is inherent in that liquid. Not related to
"additives".

Subject: After Run Devices
Brooks:
Both after-run systems are temperature controlled to start. The main fan
and auxiliary pump systems require reaching a certain WATER temperature
(usually "soaking" which occurs about 3 to 5 minutes after stopping the
car and assuming the engine had reached normal operating temperature.
The mere fact that the mechanically driven (timing belt) water pump has
stopped when the ignition is turned off, allows a very rapid heat
transfer from the engine block to the water and temp sector. Two things
are badly needed to prevent heat expansion damage (primaryly exhaust
valves and turbo):
1.- Water circulation from the bottom of the radiator (cooler zone)
2.- Air flow thru the radiator to remove the heat dissipated by the
water; thus the fan and auxiliary pump "tandem" work.
The duration of the after-run cycle varies somewhat depending on several
issues (variables)
1.- Battery, Fan (bearings, Electrical conexions to Fan, brushes etc..
2.- Cleanliness or obstruction of the radiator core...coolant formula,
auxiliary pump health, condition of hoses, internal block cleanliness
etc..
3.- Outside air temp
4.- Nature and intensity of the drive prior to killing ignition.(boost
!!!!)
In general the after-run process should last between 3 and 7 minutes as
determined by the coolante temp. at the thermoswitch.
Injector cooling relates to preventing gasification of fuel prior to
entering or thru the injector body. (a form of "vapor lock").Keep in
mind the injectors are installed very close to the valves and run a very
high temperatures, in addition the seal integrity is assured by non
metal "O" rings, relatively resistant to heat.
The cooling function is initiated by the thermo switch which is mounted
at the rear of the engine and NOT in contact with the coolant but rather
with engine compartment temperature specially in the neighborhood of the
wastegate.
> You wrote.....
"What I'm looking at to be the after run coolant pump, is a small
cylinder,
attached to the engine block near the rear of the engine, and attached
to the coolant hose right before it meets the radiator. Is this the
correct device? It's got a connector coming out of the same wire-line
that the injector blower is connected to. (that's why I'm assuming
they're related)"
Your description of the aux. coolant pump is correct. The connection of
the rubber hoses and respective clamps to the pump are made to very
britle PLASTIC extensions, which WILL !!!break with the smallest
twisting or turning.

Subject: Possible causes of "twitching" in '94 S4?
I've noticed that the S4 has become twitchy since I fitted 17" rims a few
weeks ago. With the previous 225/50/16's she always tracked perfectly on
any
surface. With the 225/45/17's, at speeds of 45-65 it starts to almost
seek
out grooves and irregularities in the road. Below 45 it isn't noticeable,
at
speeds beyond 65, up to 120, it's stable again. It's also fine on the
rare
stretches of well-paved freeway around here at 45-65.
I know wider tires are noted for sometimes causing this, but they're
still
225's and only 5% lower profile, so does anyone have any suggestions of
what
might cause this, or what changes/modifications might alleviate it?
TIA, Geoff

I put mine under the left air vent near the steering wheel. You can also

I used a small (?1 1/8") VDO 0-30psi boost guage. Ned recomemded an
absolute
pressure guage (aircraft type), but the VDO was cheap, and the fancy one
was
~$125. With Ned's chip, and the right weather, I cat get up to 19PSI peak
boost (that's above the 14.8PSI atmospheric(1.0Bar), or around 2.25Bar.
Run good quality braid covered vacuum hose from the guage behind the
carbon(wood) trim, under the dash, to the vacuum line going to the
computer in
the floor of the front passenger side. I used a Y connector on the vacuum
line
coming from the manifold to the computer, and kept the routing entirely
under
the dash. It's simple, but time consuming because of the routing. I kept
it on

Disturbing, but much less dangerous. It takes some time to bleach out
the photosensitive chemical in your eyes, rhodopsin. Smaller bulbs with
poor cutoff give you a prolonged dose of less light, with a greater net
effect on your night vision. A well focused beam puts the light where
you want it, not at fellow motorists or into fog and snow above the hood

Subject: RE: paint
Exactly. The local Maaco guy told me he has to do 13 cars a day to make
money. Also: every car gets the same prep work; the only difference in
the
prices is the quality of paint. I was repainting my wife's old Civic Si
and got the cheap job because we were going to sell it rather quickly.
Well, six months later and the hood looks like it's served as a backstop
at
a stone-skipping contest. :-( There are more chips on the car in the
last
six months than in the previous 10 years.
Maaco can give a good job if you do the prep yourself. Call the owner up
beforehand and tell him/her what you're going to do, that you knwo how
the
system works and since you're doing a lot of prep work yourself, that he
could afford to spend a few extra minutes on the masking. Also, that
they
can do a better job on the transition parts of the car (rear edge of the
hood is usually feathered poorly, etc...). Bondo and prime any dings and
such yourself. Sand the primer and re-prime if reqd. This also includes
sanding down the previous paint job (for better adhesion) and doing any
masking you want to be done right. I live 1/2 mile from one so it wasn't
a
big deal to do the detail masking. Remove any trim pieces, fender lips,
etc... that can be removed easily. Once they paint the car, they bake it
and then it gets wiped down and delivered. it takes them 30 minutes to
do
a car - regardless of package purchased and what size it is. Only makes
sense to do as much yourself as possible with our 'larger' cars.
One other idea is to see if you can get the can of paint from them
_before_
you take the car in for the total re-paint so you can do the hood, trunk
and door sills (unless you want to pay the $75 per - basically doubling
the
paint job) and inside the gas filler door.

to

They built the cars and prepared them for the events, from what I
understand. SMS is/was (??) tied in very closely with Audi Sport.

Actually, they tested a Tornado. It's a completely different product.
Not.
What, did they change the name or something?

Subject: FW: I raced my A4Q at Donnington, UK against Hondas, Vauxhalls,
Alfa Romeos, Fords, and more and won!!!!!!
I got the game quite awhile ago. There ARE certain stores here in the USA
that carry Import Software (Interact CD in Pasadena, CA), and that is
where
I got it. I LOVE this game! But when I first started to play it, I
thought
"hell, these cars bash into each other and weave all over, more like an
arcade game". Reason being, after years in SCCA, most drivers did not
drive
this way! Well, it wasn't until I bought the 96 season BTCC Racing video
and
watched it that I came to realize, they REALLY DO drive that way! And
they
weave all over cause they are not allowed the sophisticated suspension
that
our race cars get to have, a large amount of the car has to be from the
street model (at least I think I heard that was the case). I race with it
using a Thrustmaster NASCAR steering wheel, which really helps! Joysticks
or
keyboards just don't cut it here.
For me, Brands Hatch is the hardest course to do, the turns are wickedly
sharp! Donnington is very good, and plenty of places to pass. Oulton Park
is
one of my favorites! But I am having a hell of a time on Snetterton!
Oh, and I am looking for anyone in the USA that has this and wants to
race
against a LIVE player! It is very easy to do, just need the other's IP
address (use WINIPCFG to get it). I tried it already with a few folks
across
the big swamp (England and Australia), but LAG was so horrible, it was
almost impossible to play it. Anyone interested??????

Is that what does it (or helps)? I didn't know that.
Geez, and I reset it sometimes while rolling. Gotta stop that like now.
Thanks,

Subject: AudiFest '98 pix are up!!
Okay folks... the moment you've all been waiting for... a drum roll
please... :-)
I spent a good portion of today scanning and posting pictures (45 if I
counted correctly) of the Mt. Washington, AudiFest '98, and Pueblo
Motorsports Park events. I set them all up on different pages (Mt.
Wash., AudiFest '98 "folks", Pikes Peak competition, and Pueblo
Motorsports Park). There are links to three of them off the main
AudiFest page... but in case it makes it easier, here are all four URLs.
AudiFest '98:
http://www.geocities.com/~jgriff/AudiFest/AudiFest98.html
Mt. Washington NEQCUSA Audi Corral:
http://www.geocities.com/~jgriff/AudiFest/mtwsh98.html
Pike's Peak competition:
http://www.geocities.com/~jgriff/AudiFest/AFest98comp.html
Pueblo Motorsports Park:
http://www.geocities.com/~jgriff/AudiFest/AFest98Pblo.html
Hope you enjoy them all!!
P.S. If anyone else has put up a web site with pictures of these events,
I would like to link to your picture-page off of the main AudiFest '98
site. Please let me know the URL. Thanks.
