The car is currently in the shop for a new air pump (for emissions
control) for the fourth time! Fortunately, the factory is covering the
cost once again. I also had to replace both turbos at 39000 miles.
The factory paid 3/4 of that bill even though the car was out of
warranty ( my share was still $2200). You can understand my being a
little gun-shy.
