Default I was almost ready for a TB or Tranny today

Guess what? ended up towing the S8 to the dealer on a flat deck!
after having a A4 2.0T loaner for almost 1800k to replace the cluster panel on S8. (they need to order another one as my GPS dose not work and some other issues with it)
Today I got to the doctor with my wife and little son. On the way home traveling at about 50k, I heard a big Bang under the car and engine just died! I could not pull over to the left and stoped in between the lanes, flasher on and the warning triangle on the road. Got a taxi for my wife to go home and towed the car with a flat deck to the dealer. Looks like a big stone went off under the front passenger tire and hit the fuel supply lines right under the car (it is not a good place for those lines) looks like I missed a big stone as it brike both pipes! but pump stoped working this is why I did not get any fuel on the road. They are going to order the fuel lines and did not have any loaner today so I am going to drive my a6 for a while!
Funny, I said it is timing belt ot Trany! thanks God it was a simple thing.

Default Dang, that's no good.

But certainly better than a timing belt giving up.
