Step right up place your bets

And the winner is Suction jet pump. Finally got the manifold off at the shop. So of course I got into the while we are in there lets do this and this oh and we may as well do that. So ordered every damn Coolant line, crank case vent hose, intercooler hoses and vacuum hose from DO88 and will replace everything we can reach with the engine in. Also have one tired intercooler so having both redone by Apikol down in Denver and reinstall those with new hoses. Also wanted to replace the auxiliary coolant pump under the manifold but no longer available. Troy at Apikol said use one from a 2.7 and use the Old RS6 bracket. Anyone out there have any experience with that swap.

The old girl is giving my wallet a bit of a beating. Hopefully I'll be good to go now for a bit. I don't mind keeping her up I just need more time to enjoy the car between financial beatings. Just makes you lose that loving feeling. Thanks everybody for the input. Invaluable as usual. Linked my techs with Muggys refresh and this thread. Very impressed with the knowledge on the site. When you only see an RS6 every couple years I'm guessing its hard to remember all the little
pieces parts of which there are so so many.

Thanks again everybody. And Muggy your refresh is looking good. Consider me very very impressed.

I mentioned this in the link I posted above. I'm running a knock off 2.7 unit I found on Ebay for <$50 instead of the pricier Pierburg unit. YMMV.

Replace the after-run pump. 078121601B is for an A6/S4/Passat (re-use the rubber insulator/isolator from the RS6) otherwise you'll probably only find 077121599A which is the pump and RS6 specific bracket $$$.
