Decided to pull the top of the 'can of worms' and replace the aux water pump in my 2001 Allroad. After managing to get the intake lifted in a position where I could get at the pump I found in the valley a stockpile on oil drenched dogfood and what appeared to be a vacated mouse home. I assume its been there since I bought vehicle since I've been driving it pretty much every day so no critter has ever really had much of a chance to set up house. The dog food isnt really a problem, THe fact that its sitting all caked in a inch think pile of oily sludge is though. Guess there more to do than change the dang afterflow pump. BTW dumb place to put it. I love my audi but sometimes I gotta question german engineering decisions.
