Exactly the same story, a pin-hole coolant leak in the engine block that requires that the engine block be replaced. I wonder if they are having more incidents of this type? I'm hoping that I do not run into the same replacement issues you mention here, although I am worried that the car will never be quite the same after the repair. Call me paranoid but this does not seem like something that should happen that frequently. Anyone else had hair-line cracks in their Audi 3.2 block I wonder.

As for your car never being quite the same, yeah, you're probably right, it should be better with a new motor. Long story short, engines get replaced all of the time and it just isn't that big of a big deal. Best regards, Shipo
