[V8] Class Action Lawsuit

[Scott DeWitt]

I got four of them, and I have to check if I even own the vehicles in question.

Big problem with this is if you floor gets flooded your out at least $1,500 for a tcu replacement (tip-tronic) I've seen many a totaled car because of a little water in the pass floor board.

Unfortunately the settlements in these cases are typically a voucher for some $$ off a new Audi and unfortunately Audi has priced me out of their market.

If you go through a high pressure car wash and don't put the system on recirculate to close the flap, you will get a bucket load of water in the passenger front floorboard.  It is a know flaw with Audi, but has nothing to do with the sunroof drains. They have known about it for years.  Found out the trick with the recirculate flap from the service writer at the local Audi dealership here in Richmond.
