Default Ran down my battery last night

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/149026/tt_motor.jpg"></center><p>Hi folks... It looks like a motor/pump stuck on last night and ran down my battery. The pump is located just above the radiator fan on the passenger side. I've noticed lately that it stayed on a long time after turning the car off.

1) Can anybody tell me what the motor/pump is?

2) Is there a relay located someplace that controls it and that may need to be replaced?

3) how long should the dang thing normally run after turning off the car?

Mike

Default After-run pump, or some fancy tech name, IIRC. Circulates turbo coolant.

It's driven by a t-switch IIRC.

Default Thanks Steve. Besides your profiile, where's the link to the FAQs ?

Steve,

1) Thank you. Where do I find the FAQs on this forum without the link you provide in your profile? I can't seem to find it via the AudiWorld menu items.

2) I read the replacement procedure by SparTTan in the FAQ section... he did a real nice job.

Default What's a t-switch IIRC? Where is it?

If the t-switch IIRC turns out to be my problem does anybody know where it is? The turbo coolant pump itself looks fine with no leaks.

Default How did it get away.....

How long did it take you to catch it. I've got mine tied down pretty well so it shouldn't be a problem with me.
