[A4] A question for the Audi Experts...

[Richard Hurt]

A couple of things:

   - There was a recall on the control arms, so you might see if it applies
   to that car and get them fixed for free.
   - Timing belt needs to be changed YESTERDAY!
   - Going through oil is never a good thing; is it burning it or leaking
   it?
   - 20k miles per year?  Wow, thats a lot of driving.  I hope it was all
   highway miles.
