[BiturboS4] Greetings and looking for TSB's

[Greg Lund]

The fan shroud issue was indeed early build cars.

I have not received the Engine Cooling Fan Shield recall letter.
Perhaps this doesn't apply to later build date cars.  The other items
are not "recalls" in my view precisely because they are "silent."
Common maintenance items, perhaps.

My question is - exactly what action do you propose to take based on
these common maintenance items.  Do you recommend complaining about all
of them to your dealer even if there are no symptoms?  Do you propose
replacing all maintenance-prone parts with aftermarket and risk voiding
factory warranty provisions?

Not sure I like either of these options.

Recalls (Both silent & communicated recalls from Audi USA)

TBB (throttle body boot) - silent -dealer will replace if u complain
about
sluggish acceleration

Engine Cooling Fan Shield - communicated - via letter from Audi USA

Valve Cam Seals/Gaskets - silent - dealers will communicate on a spot
basis - usually during a maintenance check

Turbos - silent -dealer will replace if car is not chpped
