Default Major TTrama TToday

Driving down to CT today, my engine start making a loud grinding noice, next thing I know somthing drops out of my engine compartment lodges itself into my front drivers tire and proceeds shread my wheel well and part of my fender?
Pull off tire and find it now has a hole the size of a nickel and I have to truck the last 30 miles at 50mph on the Ultra mini donut that Audi provides. Anyone have any similar problems??
I think what fell out of the engine compartment was a tool of some sort left in by the dealship?
I will go to the dealership tommorrow and rant, and let you know what happens.

Jess

I suppose you can't find the "tool" - That would help of course. Bummer
