Your service being done at University? How would you rate their service? Placed my S4 order there back in Feb. Should be taking delivery in June.

Got cha...I meant I wonder if the dealer has to pay for the I/C or if Audi will pick it up since the dealer broke it.
I bet it's irritating. Thankfully I have not had any of the coolant system issues...but if I had I would be going nuts.
Nothing wrong with the Jetta...I almost bought one of those 2 months ago. It's not an S4...but it could be a lot worse. I would think it would be oK to call them and ask for an Audi as a loaner...especially if it's going to be a few more days. They should understand that simple request.

Donald Frey. He's only been there for about 7 months. Great customer service and very laid back. Thanks for your feedback. They seem like a quality shop.

First of all, glad to hear that you made it home safely. It was less than 2 weeks ago that we were just talking about this, and what to do in the event if it should happen. My guess is that these T-Stat are failing at an alarming rate which resulted in the RVU being issued. For the other members that are thinking about waiting until the next service, it may be a good idea to take the trouble and get it done sooner than later.

I have about 3000 miles or 70 days until I'm required to bring my car in for it's 15k service. I was going to wait to get my T-stat replaced then, but now it might be a better idea to get it done earlier.
Glad you got yourself and your S4 home safely, Neal.

Thanks all, I'll keep the thread updated as we progress today, the main reason for a new post (since as many point out, these seem to all be happening suddenly) was to let people know there are some steps they can take which might help.
My engine was still quite warm despite the oil and temp guage readings, as the fans up front were going like crazy still for another 10 seconds after I shut down last night.

That sucks! Mine is going back in on Wednesday for some slow coolant leak. I think I found a pinhole leak on one of the hoses (sounds like what Primetime experienced indeed!) that the slow leak originates from. Only seems to leak when the car is running/driving. Kept under 2500rpm the whole day today.
Do check the car when you get it back and monitor the coolant level...
