Default Right on the heels of the I3 TSB, Audi brings you the I5.

2006 MY 2.0T A3's with VINs from 000150 through 064267 will get new coolant flange seals to prevent possible leaks at their next service.

Also 2005 and 2006 2.0T A4s.<ul><li><a href="http://putstuff.putfile.com/79716/2777788">Link to i5 RVU TSB</a></li></ul>
