Default radiator leak / replaced

For those of you keeping tabs on audi reliability...

37K miles, radiator sprung a leak, just had it replaced under warranty.

That's the 2nd major thing to go on me. The first being the A/C compressor last summer.

As long as it all happens under warranty, I can't complain (yet)...

It's a known problem--all 2.0T engines are getting an O-ring replacement at their next service.

Yeah, so O-ring was replaced at 35K, radiator still sprung a leak at 37K, and needed to be replaced.
