TT R.I.P.
On a road trip through Nevada yesterday my oil pan was holed, I lost all my oil very rapidly and cooked the turbo and possibly the main bearings too.
A long sad tow home and now I'm waiting for the damage diagnosis.
I love this little car. So sad to see it off on the flat bed to the dealer tonight.<p>ChrisTTopher Lloyd

Re: Sorry to hear...what's the warrantee situation here? (please give more detailed account of 'hol
Too soon to tell, but probably it will be insurance, not warranty...because it wasn't a "manufacturing defect"
The short version of the story is I hit a load of stuff that had fallen off a truck (I guess) at high speed. Something, probably one of the scrap iron parts,smashed the plastic undertray (massive hole and gash in it) and make a BIG hole in the sump. Almost instant catastrophic loss of oil.<p>ChrisTTopher Lloyd

Oh geez!
That definitely sounds like an insurance thing. That really sucks for you. I hope everything works out okay. I hope my trip tomorrow isn't so poorly-climactic. Good luck with everything, and keep us posted.<p><img src="http://www.g3.com/sean/images/tt-sig.jpg">
