Nice to know that the more things change, the more they stay the same...
Old man's '03 S8 has the EXACT SAME problem with the sunroof drains. 3/4 of
them work, the clogging of the 4th causes the vehicle to piss on his right
foot on right hand turns.
He keeps the thing parked when it rains, needless to say.
So much for German Engineering and evolution, eh?
Speaking of Evolution, anyone see where I parked mine?
