Mine has never run. With that said, you still don't need a turbo timer. Just stay out of boost the last couple minutes before you shut down. It is much better to drive around out of boost compared to sitting in place with the car running.

Update: It WORKED!!!! - QCRAZY 2004-04-29 07:36:57 (874 views)

NICE!!!!!! hopefully someone can do a voltmeter/boiling water test - ModifiedA4 2004-04-29 08:42:09 (279 views)

No doubt! Thank again! - QCRAZY 2004-04-29 08:53:16 (306 views)

thanks for the update...not a good sign that the o-ring isnt the same... - ModifiedA4 2004-04-27 14:05:16 (319 views)

Cool (pun intended). Can't wait to hear the results. - DAP@PEB tuning 2004-04-27 14:00:54 (251 views)

What's the conclusion?? :) - axecheerful 2004-04-22 08:10:35 (276 views)

It keeps coolant flowing, not oil... nor does it (m)... - +pressure 2004-04-20 16:12:09 (318 views)

My 98 vr6 gti had the same pump and that thing ran.... - blslhi 2004-04-20 15:31:35 (394 views)

if anybody in socal has one of those i'd be glad to guinea pig for a bit - nyet 2004-04-20 15:50:09 (281 views)

VR6's use p/n: 357 919 369E. It runs at the same temp and it's a 4-pin. - QCRAZY 2004-04-21 06:59:56 (305 views)

either that, or they are placed "better" :) - nyet 2004-04-21 11:56:00 (261 views)

so does that mean the VR6's run significantly hotter? this isn't the first post i've seen - Andrew C::FATS 2004-04-21 11:09:59 (320 views)

VR6's do tend to run hot, especially in Corrados. - LaserK04 2004-04-29 10:40:02 (255 views)

Good point....correction.... - QCRAZY 2004-04-21 12:05:55 (349 views)

It won't run unless you reach a certain temp (250 degrees maybe?) - Doc@PEB tuning 2004-04-20 09:20:31 (412 views)

i dont understand why you guys just dont buy a lower temp afterrun thermoswitch. - ModifiedA4 2004-04-20 09:25:26 (496 views)

It just isn't necessary. Plain and simple, NOT NECESSARY! - Doc@PEB tuning 2004-04-20 09:27:04 (466 views)

no, but its simple, cheap added protection. - ModifiedA4 2004-04-20 09:29:53 (440 views)

There is one reason no one has done this mod. We are too lazy to find the right thermoswitch - Zzak:FATS 2004-04-20 10:14:21 (382 views)

question, if you just short it out, won't it ALWAYS run for 10 mins after shutdown, then turn off? - nyet 2004-04-20 15:37:54 (397 views)

Yes it will run for the 10min max if you just short it out. - Bad MAF 2004-04-20 15:48:15 (259 views)

i may just do that, summer is almost here - nyet 2004-04-20 15:51:24 (281 views)

No drawbacks that I ran into running it for a couple months... - Bad MAF 2004-04-20 15:56:18 (277 views)

oh, and one more, is the afterrun thermoswitch one of the relays in vag m-block 136? - nyet 2004-04-20 16:09:49 (331 views)

ok, next question, how hot do you think it gets near a turbo (ambient air, not directly touching)... - nyet 2004-04-20 16:02:01 (322 views)

somebody give me specs for the stock one, ill try to dig something up. - nyet 2004-04-20 11:03:48 (273 views)

Existing p/n: 357 919 369F - QCRAZY 2004-04-20 11:22:38 (599 views)

Agreed. If someone posted the part number of an appropriate thermoswitch, I'd be all over it. - DAP@PEB tuning 2004-04-20 10:46:26 (262 views)

i did some etka-ing last night and found about 4 mechanically compatible thermoswitches. - ModifiedA4 2004-04-21 11:55:12 (386 views)

Depends on the order. If it's shown like you have it... - QCRAZY 2004-04-21 12:10:29 (274 views)

all the P/Ns ive sourced are 2 pin only. the one i listed is a 2pin switch spec'd... - ModifiedA4 2004-04-21 12:27:47 (314 views)

Yeah, you're right...I was thinking to fast (about the pins)...had to go work :) - QCRAZY 2004-04-21 12:54:07 (284 views)

i have the part numbers/specs at home...tonight ill post the ones ive found. - ModifiedA4 2004-04-21 13:30:55 (239 views)

Cool. I'm trying to contact Behr as well. - QCRAZY 2004-04-21 14:27:14 (239 views)

ok some part numbers. im not sure of the difference between slashes and dashes with regards to temp. - ModifiedA4 2004-04-22 15:55:35 (272 views)

Great!...more.... (EDITED) - QCRAZY 2004-04-23 07:21:35 (641 views)

are you going to throw this thing in a pot of boiling water with a voltmeter and test it? - ModifiedA4 2004-04-23 10:34:02 (229 views)

Nah, I know that's how it works. I only do "the water" when the system stops working :) - QCRAZY 2004-04-23 10:38:44 (244 views)

one other idea i had.... - ModifiedA4 2004-04-23 10:40:53 (284 views)

Yeah, that would work too. Except when my wife drove the car....I better make it automatic :-) - QCRAZY 2004-04-23 10:49:02 (239 views)

yup ;) - nyet 2004-04-23 10:46:49 (264 views)

hehe, great minds think alike :) - ModifiedA4 2004-04-23 10:53:23 (308 views)

outstanding, calling my dealer now - nyet 2004-04-23 10:30:54 (344 views)

yeah it is used in the eurovan. i'd wait until qcrazy gets the part and it works as suspected. - ModifiedA4 2004-04-23 10:32:31 (249 views)

i figure if i can get it sooner than him, i might save him some cash :) - nyet 2004-04-23 10:34:24 (233 views)

Too late.....I ordered it so I'm screwed :-) - QCRAZY 2004-04-23 10:39:28 (246 views)

hehe...i hope it works out. - ModifiedA4 2004-04-23 10:37:56 (271 views)

im not quite understanding the temp analysis... - ModifiedA4 2004-04-23 07:53:09 (344 views)

No, I actually meant the heater core.... - QCRAZY 2004-04-23 10:42:45 (326 views)

"could be why so many of the pumps fail"... if they would ever cycle in the first place!!! - DAP@PEB tuning 2004-04-23 08:46:05 (237 views)

I think what he's saying with that switch is... - DAP@PEB tuning 2004-04-23 08:19:03 (274 views)

oh ok...so this switch may be plug and play...nice! - ModifiedA4 2004-04-23 08:30:41 (318 views)

Nice! Be sure to keep us updated! - DAP@PEB tuning 2004-04-23 07:26:54 (237 views)

Will do! Part won't come in until next week..... - QCRAZY 2004-04-23 07:44:04 (234 views)

Re: whoa, you are getting ahead of your self. - QCRAZY 2004-04-21 12:50:40 (250 views)

or possibly tolerances? - nyet 2004-04-21 11:56:49 (308 views)

I'll second that - stj3570 2004-04-20 13:20:07 (276 views)

If someone found/made this sensor what temperature... - QCRAZY 2004-04-20 14:41:47 (288 views)

i'd say 80-90C maybe - nyet 2004-04-20 14:45:45 (321 views)

Interesting point...oil temp isn't in there. - gk1 2004-04-21 17:04:20 (245 views)

Check block 134 - QCRAZY 2004-04-21 06:58:06 (254 views)

BTDT nothing there on 2.7t's ;( - nyet 2004-04-21 11:54:45 (238 views)

HEAT SOAK! :) - ToastyK04s 2004-04-20 09:24:16 (341 views)

So are you saying that you dont need to cool down your turbo unless the oil temp hits 250F? Mine - axecheerful 2004-04-20 09:23:46 (442 views)

It's coolant temp....112C = 234 F - QCRAZY 2004-04-20 09:50:14 (305 views)

oil temp on the dash has little to do with the local temp of the turbos. - ModifiedA4 2004-04-20 09:26:41 (261 views)

Why? What does the oil temp on the dashboard really indicate then? - axecheerful 2004-04-20 15:03:25 (224 views)

the temperature of the oil :) - nyet 2004-04-20 15:12:27 (373 views)

*ding* - ModifiedA4 2004-04-20 20:14:35 (282 views)

That is not what I am saying at all. I'm saying the pump won't run until 250 or so. - Doc@PEB tuning 2004-04-20 09:25:58 (337 views)

That means that you dont really know when you could turn off your engine... if there's only a way to - axecheerful 2004-04-20 15:04:37 (325 views)

That is identical to my own proceedure....still lost my ko3s - ToastyK04s 2004-04-20 09:27:16 (360 views)

I dont want to lose my k03 :) So does it mean I still need to idle my engine (a.k.a buy a turbo time - axecheerful 2004-04-20 10:04:31 (304 views)

I'm not worried. - Doc@PEB tuning 2004-04-20 09:27:51 (324 views)

I guess that's just that fearless midget spirit... - ToastyK04s 2004-04-20 11:26:28 (248 views)
