Previous Owner of My Car? Just curious if anyone in the Houston area knows a guy names Eric W. that used to own the 01 Arctic White SS (A4) that I now own. I only know his name from a tire receipt that was in the car - gives a Waco address, but I think the guy is from Houston. (don't want to give his full last name - no need to pester the guy).
Just curious if anyone knows the car or any history on it.
So far it seems clean...
Like SO many other people have posted, I have the following "issues":
1. I have the "knocK' in the engine when it's cold (like one post said, it sounds like a diesel bus engine)
2."marbles in a box" sound at the rear end
3."clunk" at the rear when getting on the gas after a slow speed coast, like in stop and go traffic.
Other than that it seems good so far (bought it two days after Christmas).
Thanks.
Todd

Doh!
Guess I wasn't as clear as I thought! Not really looking for the guy - I could probably find him - just kind of looking to see if anyone knows the car - like did the previous owner put it in Galveston Bay, or if he drove it like my grandma drives (I REALLY doubt that!!)
If nobody is familiar with it, I'll probably just call the prev. owner and ask him. But like I said, I really don't want to pester the guy.
Thanks!
