Default I had to use Audi Roadside Assistance yesterday......

Was driving to Clinton, NJ from New Haven, CT. On 287 in NJ the display in my dash starts beeping, and flashing a thermometer symbol. My coolant temp gauge was at about 3 quarters, then all of a sudden started shooting up to max temp in a hurry.

To make a long story short, I pulled off the highway and watched all of my boiling coolant drain out from under my car.

I had my car towed to Paul Miller Audi in Parsippany, NJ where it will stay at least until next weekend. What sux about it is that they won't even be open until Tuesday.

Anyone have any experience at Paul Miller, and has anyone else had this probelm before? If so what was the probelm and how much did it cost to fix? Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing a blown cylinder head gasket... The gaskets is cheap, but labour, who knows...

Default You still get road side assistance at 80k? Do we have lifetime roadside?

In which case... why the heck do I have AAA?

I believe it's 3 years, no mileage limit.
