My son-in-law had his 2002 Spec-V in for the recall fix on the pre-catalyst,
heat shields, etc.  Took off that same night for a several hundred mile trip
on X-ways.  At the first gas stop, car would not re-start.  Had it towed to a
dealer who diagnosed a blown head gasket; oil in water; water in oil.   Anyone
else have problems after the recall work?  Co-incidence? (I think not)
Luckily, it will be covered under the power train warranty at 44,000 miles.
