[BiturboS4] Blown Turbos (Non-Chipped S4) - Update

[California Fields]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

Ian, the guy's car was having signs of failure BEFORE 50k miles...so Audi
should warranty it if they're any good at business/customer service. Anything
less and they're, in effect, "weasling out of it."  To have a strict deadline
on something that is gradual doesn't make sense to me.
