Re: Left for dead in my A4
thanks for the update and glad you are back rolling.
Well since the previous owner might have done some "mods" to your Audi, that

Re: Left for dead in my A4
Yeah I forgot to ask that. The only thing I can point to is I just
refueled my car maybe 30 mins before it broke down. Could filling the
car up somehow damage the fuel line in a freak incident? What's this
thing made of anyway?
