Yeah, but then it will line up perfectly with the 240k service, so I can
have everything done at once. ;-)

Actually, I have compiled a MBTT (Mean Time Between Tows) on my '98 A6,
which is much worse. It's 6300 miles between tows. But I've concluded
that two of my four tow events are very likely due to the dealer's
services department repair quality (!) on the other two events...

...and I like the car, so I'm keeping it until I can afford a 2.7T.
