RE: 4Runners and Audis (Job)



As far as the recall, yes, I have heard of this one.  A friend's truck had 
this happen and the truck had to be flatbedded in cause they went before the 
recall came out.  Worse than that is that Toyota is SOOOO backlogged with 
these repairs that the factory doesn't have enough new head gaskets for the 
replacements AND the new cars.  Guess who gets the short end of the stick?  
Yeah, the warranty people.

Hey y'all
Two things

1) my dad's '96 4Runner with 15k on it just had to have the head gaskets 
replaced.  WHY?  Recall. I guess, anyone else had/heard of this.  Could 
any damage have occured as this is a leased vehicle and he doesn't want 
to be stuck in the end.

2) As of Monday, I'll be employed at Crown Audi/BMW in Greensboro, NC.  
It's like putting a kid in a candy store and telling him he can taste 
everything.  Test Dirves: A8q here I come.
