[A4] Broken intercooler

[James Hanson]

Tow company is not covering the cost.  Didn't discover the damage
until 2 weeks after the tow (couldn't drive the car because it wasn't
running).  Thought about pursuing them, but I'd have a terrible time
proving that they did the damage.

So JB Weld won't hold as a patch in the plastic end tank?

Thanks,
Jim
