[s-cars] Oil Pressure

[Rit Bellis]

Having just gone through the "bomb" replacement on my 93 s4, I can say that 
that is a definite possibility, floyd.  Pay attention to the brake pedal 
feel.  Hard pedal means it's more likely the bomb.  Knowledge base has a lot 
of good info.  Bomb is under front driver side up by the bumper.  I drove my 
s for a year without any significant bomb assist, and it worked fine, but 
those panic stops are sure a lot easier now.
