Finally managed to tally my Chassis number with the list, glad to know it's only a heating problem... feel much better now...
Hopefully all those with joints problems can have them rectified quickly...
Meanwhile, safe driving! :p

I have some newer story from Tigger posted on the other thread
http://199.79.180.162/prepos/files/A...5V325-9406.PDF
It is a good story how they discover the lower arm problems.

Urs from HY right? Had a talk with the manager. Dun worry, they are doing up the letters now and should send out this couple of weeks. They will ask you to go for inspection at the workshop and if there's a problem will rectify it.

so how? In the end, I don't know completely what was done to my 8 this afternoon. However, I can tell you that a good straight through cat back aftermarket exhaust will considerably lower the heat in the center consol, works for me mate.

Why at the muffler area. I though the main ideal was to prevent e heat from entering the car?
Guest I would have to spend money again to have the whole Pipes shield away from the car. cos the car aircon just can't make it. it always not cold enough to cool me during the day time.
