Default The Verdict is in. Coolant pump not activated

They said after 1000's of test they ran the tech line told them to check to make sure the Coolant pump was activated because sometimes they are deactivated. They said they went into the computer system, found it and it was deactivated. The tech activated it and it is working fine now.
This kind of makes sense because on my Lightning I had an intercooler pump problem so I guess that could be it. Also makes sense because the code it threw was 2181: engine coolant performance which I guess could be affected by a coolant pump?

Default So you've been running around with no coolant circulation?

Did the wather temp read hot? (where is the water temp pickup anyway?)

Default These people at the dealership kill me. 1000's of test. What the hell are they testing???? Don't

they start with testing the major, high level components first and then drill down??

I sense some dealership owner was milking AUDI. MMMOooooooooooooooooooo.

Did not read hot, maybe it is like and open circuit and the pump just adds to the circulation.
