[A4] Broken intercooler

[docwyte at comcast.net]

The stock intercooler has plastic end tanks.  There's no patching it.  Getting another used stock intercooler should be very easy and very cheap, as lots of people have upgraded to front mounts.  However, this is a good opportunity to upgrade to a front mount yourself.  Is the tow company covering the cost?
