[T3] battery woes

[J L Stamey]

Wow! As of just yesterday, a "fix" was approved for the Gen1 TDI's Jim...

http://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN1AC2F3


All owners of the affected cars are supp to be notified within 10 days. Be
on the lookout for the mailer Jim!


With the fix all cars will get a new 48 mo. warranty on ALL emissions
equipment.
