OK here's another charactersitic of these cars that is now showing up as
they age. Before much longer I'll begin to believe I'm a real Audi
owner, like Huw and Brett, and not just a wannabe!
So, it appears that the earlier A4's have the following problems:
- weak timing belt tensioner (1.8t)
- iffy tie rod ends
- door lower edge trim prone to rot
- rear wheel bearings toast early
- rattles in headliner
- door mirror delamination
I'm proud to say my own car has exhibited each and every one of these
fine behaviors. Today's question is about the last. I just bought a
new piece of glass from the dealer, and it appears to be identical to
the original-- which means of course, that it'll delaminate in another
four years or so.
So, what should I seal the edges with?
