[s-cars] Another leaking heaterbox seal

[Joshua Van Tol]

Peter,

 I would think that Behr should be fine. They're primarily an OEM supplier,
and their parts are generally quite high quality. Who knows, they may even
be the OEM supplier for the URS heater core. They are the OE supplier for
the radiator used on the S6. I'd take a chance if it were my money.
