RE: Audi

[Mike Sylvester <Mike.Sylvester@aptis.com>]

Did she or did she not hit something?  If her oil pan is cast aluminum it
wouldn't take
much to crack it, since they don't bend.  If this crack was present when she
bought the car then I agree
Audi should pay, but if marks of impact can be seen, it has nothing to do
with Audi.
