Lucky you. Yesterday I was taking my V8 for a state safety inspection. About 
halfway there, out of the corner of my eye, I saw steam coming out from the left 
side of the dash. Dang! I pulled over and called AAA, then I opened the hood. I 
didn't see any steam from exposed hoses or radiators. Double Dang! There was a 
lot of coolant leaking down behind the RF wheel, not up front. I guessed I'd 
lost a heater core.

AAA towed it to Force 5. (I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have 2 good 
independent Audi shops in my back yard.) They opened it up and found the heater 
valve was the culprit, not the heater core. Thank goodness for small favors.

Hmmmmm. Lobstah. And drawn butter. Hmmmmmmm. :)


I'm still of the mind to reduce my Audi fleet count to one (and yesterday 
afternoon I would have said zero).
