Rob,

I would be interested in this.  I got myself in a situation with a VW
dealer, a service contract company, and VWOA.  Seems that despite what some
folks say about VWOA helping with head gasket repairs I got the brush off
from them.  I have not posted my situation to V@L yet because I'm still
thinking about how hard I want to pursue this.
