Recall - seems as Audi is finally coming around

[cobram at juno.com]

Oh Happy day.....I've had the hiss in V8Q #2 since I bought it.  It's
getting annoying, but that's what fire insurance is for so I wasn't too
worried.  Thanks for the heads up, Matt!  I see you didn't post to the
V8Q list, I'm taking the liberty of  forwarding your message there.

BCNU,
