No, it hasn't gone out. lol

I've halted any further mods until I have it changed though. I'm beginning to think a lot of my cooling issues are stemming from a bad water pump impellar though. The last few days, I've started to get a weird light. It only comes on in the morning when the engine is completely cold. I've been getting the Red coolant temp picture with the moving wavy lines at the bottom once I shift into gear and start pulling out of the driveway. It goes away after about 45 seconds. The manual says that if the wavy lines are moving... that the car is overheating, obviously bullshit since its only when the car is dead cold first thing in the morning.

I'm starting to think that my waterpump is toast and that may have something to do with my cooling issue and its coming to a head now. I've already got an apopintment to have it changed and I have the parts on hand. I drop it off on the 12th.
$300 labor to change the belt, all associated parts, water pump, crank pulley, etc.

Wish me luck. lol

 

**Update**
I'm dropping the car off @ the Audi Tuner tonight. they said 5 hours to change the belt (and the rest) for W300,000 (equates to about $330.00)
