I need to check my old scans to see if the error is the same but on my A3 8V I had to replace one of the auxiliary water pumps. It was on the back of the engine underneath the turbo. It is wrapped in a blanket. It doesn't affect how the engine runs. When is bad you will feel change in interior heating output with change of the engine rpm's.

I need to know cuz I already bought a thermostat/waterpump housing (can be returned) but i know in that area ur talking about I may have issues that I couldn't figure out what it was but I do know that inside my car it gets really hot more then normal

Soo... I found some old logs. I had 2 errors P15446 and P2681. The first one I fixed by replacing the pump on the back of the engine. The second - by replacing the valve on the driver side of the engine. It is tucked under the air intake pipe going to the turbo, above the flywheel. What I read back then was the coolant was leaking through the connector onto the pins causing them to rust. I replaced both the connector and the valve.

When you changed the radiator...was all the air removed while filling the new radiator and system?
Cause your whole issue there might just be air in the system.

Yes I have a clue...
Locate and verify the connections on the boost sensors. Otherwise known as MAP(Mass Air Pressure) sensors. 2 of them One on the intake...one on the boost line going into the throttle body down low near the ground.

You probably did something to one when the radiator was changed...

#21 Right next to the radiator!
