sender. I am wondering now if the plugs are the same... instructions said specifically to replace the driver side sender. Heh. Funny.

Thanks again for the info.

Hal.

great post! - innocent:byStander 2004-05-10 14:53:02 (693 views)

So other than actually running the pump the results don't appear as dramatic as expected. - gk1 2004-05-03 21:41:16 (1894 views)

good data...nice graphs... - ModifiedA4 2004-05-04 08:10:01 (750 views)

I was actually suprised it made as much a difference as it did..... - QCRAZY 2004-05-04 07:09:30 (1023 views)

Cool deal, now we need some high quality thermocouples or - gk1 2004-05-04 08:48:48 (985 views)

There's no known answers to your questions.... - QCRAZY 2004-05-04 09:41:59 (937 views)

Very true. - gk1 2004-05-04 14:54:29 (750 views)

actually...you could disable the afterrun system in such a way so only the pump comes on... - ModifiedA4 2004-05-04 09:48:51 (959 views)

And what portion is heat soak?? There's really no reason to. - QCRAZY 2004-05-04 09:51:49 (841 views)

heat soak? - ModifiedA4 2004-05-04 09:55:45 (1407 views)

Was going to say that. Synth actually ashes - no coking. Thx to both of you for this info. - Hal_S4shizzle 2004-05-04 08:52:47 (705 views)

Quite an assumption that all owners use synth; espeically considering that Audi doesn't. - QCRAZY 2004-05-04 09:49:00 (673 views)

factory fill is 0w-30 per the manual. AFAIK, that's only Synth? - Andrew C::FATS 2004-05-10 13:35:37 (739 views)

yeah its the local temps of the turbo that matter... - ModifiedA4 2004-05-04 07:59:52 (736 views)

Nice work! your $20 gamble paid off :) - ModifiedA4 2004-04-29 08:47:16 (873 views)

Will this work for the 1.8 A4? same PNs? I'm about to install the SPP EFK and need a low temp switch - Silver Streakin' 2004-04-29 11:12:22 (691 views)

no. the a4 has a completely different coolant system with no afterrun capability. - ModifiedA4 2004-04-29 11:28:29 (1097 views)

so, the one from Neuspeed is the best way to go? - Silver Streakin' 2004-04-29 11:46:20 (717 views)

if they sell a lower temp fan switch for the A4 then sure. its 3pin i believe. - ModifiedA4 2004-04-29 11:49:55 (735 views)

RAD69 said that he used the one from Neu. ...just curious if there was something OEM/better. - Silver Streakin' 2004-04-29 11:57:29 (583 views)

Great Article. This should go in the Tech Section! - reefer_bob 2004-04-29 08:42:11 (686 views)

I just sent it in. - QCRAZY 2004-04-29 08:59:09 (531 views)

I wonder how much more quickly that after run pump will fail with this increased activity? - LCP 2004-04-29 08:05:20 (694 views)

I've been wondering that too. But I really think it fails do to heat and... - QCRAZY 2004-04-29 08:11:05 (867 views)

Is the pump disabled when the engine is running? - VonK :: Indukted 2004-04-29 09:08:28 (630 views)

there is no current flow to the pump when the engine is running. - ModifiedA4 2004-04-29 10:09:05 (708 views)

the circuit is open while the engine is running if that is what you mean. - dscottjr@PEBtuning 2004-04-29 09:23:14 (578 views)

Thanks, that's what I meant. - VonK :: Indukted 2004-04-29 11:25:15 (605 views)

Weren't most of the failures cracks? Might as well get some use out of it before it fails :P - Nick Gustas 2004-04-29 08:09:23 (612 views)

Corrected below/ more than just run the after-run system(ECU primary sensor as well). Have you run.. - Hal_S4shizzle 2004-04-29 07:58:46 (985 views)

as an added note...the afterrun system is not connected to the ecu in anyway. - ModifiedA4 2004-04-29 08:48:37 (815 views)

From the 2.7T self study guide... - DAP@PEB tuning 2004-04-29 08:13:15 (1724 views)

I think that's the one on the other side, I may be wrong. - Nick Gustas 2004-04-29 08:03:18 (609 views)

Yep, I think he's talking about the one on the other side too.... - QCRAZY 2004-04-29 08:06:10 (638 views)

Ok, you're right.... just checked.. Heheheh... one of our tuners is having folks replace the wrong - Hal_S4shizzle 2004-04-29 08:42:15 (721 views)

So i WAS right long ago. Dammit:p - dscottjr@PEBtuning 2004-04-29 09:09:14 (678 views)

Heh, don't ask me for coolant system info I guess. =-) - Hal_S4shizzle 2004-04-29 09:22:22 (635 views)

holy sweetness:) - dscottjr@PEBtuning 2004-04-29 09:25:14 (589 views)

Passengers side is 4-pin; drivers side is 2-pin. - QCRAZY 2004-04-29 08:54:36 (684 views)

They make an updated part(green) for the Driver side as well. I've installed one. - Hal_S4shizzle 2004-04-29 08:56:02 (700 views)

Thank you for the extremely helpful information and all your investigative work!!! - S4_Cinci 2004-04-29 07:56:35 (637 views)

Is there a failsafe that only allows the afterun system to operate only when the car is off? - gk1 2004-04-29 07:50:19 (809 views)

Yes....it's run off a system that's only active for 10..... - QCRAZY 2004-04-29 08:12:54 (803 views)

Thank you! Interestingly enough...the VW VR6 engines seem to have an afterrun pump that operates - RKA 2004-04-29 07:50:13 (1115 views)

Same is true for the 1.8T VWs (and I belive the TTs). - DAP@PEB tuning 2004-04-29 07:56:18 (736 views)

Yep.. The tittys have em.. - Lightweight (Pig Jr) 2004-04-29 13:06:27 (1529 views)

from what i can tell, all 2.8 and transverse 1.8ts have the afterrun. - ModifiedA4 2004-04-29 08:50:03 (717 views)

Yes, but the transverse 1.8Ts don't seem to have a thermoswitch... - DAP@PEB tuning 2004-04-29 08:56:04 (708 views)

im pretty sure you are right...i dont have the TT wiring diagram here.... - ModifiedA4 2004-04-29 10:32:15 (660 views)

And apparently the ECU just defaults to "always come on" - DAP@PEB tuning 2004-04-29 10:37:18 (620 views)

which is why i have an S4 fan control module sitting on my desk :) - ModifiedA4 2004-04-29 10:41:05 (631 views)

Hmmm, well if the choices are: - DAP@PEB tuning 2004-04-29 10:43:30 (651 views)

yup... - ModifiedA4 2004-04-29 10:53:01 (550 views)

My 2000 MY Passat w/ 2.8 litre 30V motor runs the afterrun pump always as well! - S4_Cinci 2004-04-29 07:55:36 (751 views)

Nice job Andrew! - mpwolf 2004-04-29 07:47:59 (619 views)

Is that an Audi A4 part or is that a VW part? Do you know which car and year that part is for? - Giga2Envy 2004-04-29 07:46:13 (727 views)

its a VW part. for a Eurovan. - ModifiedA4 2004-04-29 10:17:23 (704 views)

Hmm... odd that the VW dealership I checked didn't stock the part then. - DAP@PEB tuning 2004-04-29 10:29:48 (630 views)

VW dealer was asking more money for the switch - 02s4 2004-04-29 13:01:09 (541 views)

probably a low use item... - ModifiedA4 2004-04-29 10:34:50 (801 views)

Not sure...Modified A4 may remember since he actually found the part. - QCRAZY 2004-04-29 08:14:04 (654 views)

Awesome! How often does the pump run now upon shutdown? - Verr�ckt@PEB tuning 2004-04-29 07:46:11 (839 views)

Wow, good job guys! Talk about a useful modification! - Pat-SoCal-HangTime 2004-04-29 07:46:09 (576 views)
