If it's the haldex controller ecutesting can test and repair it. Had mine done a few years back.

I had mine repaired by http://www.ecutesting.com a couple of years ago.

no idea about bhp as not had it rolling roaded since the work was done, although it produced 242bhp with the split flexi at badger 5. my downpipes/cats were only replaced because of the flexi and i managed to get the scorpion ones for £550 delivered (new). when my mate used to have his s4...

it's hard to describe the sound, it's a resonance from the engine when sports cats/decats are fitted, look at the r32 forum, it's mentioned a few times. i just can't think of the best way to describe it, my first thought was kind of a tinny noise when accelerating hard (no resonance under...

You can't stress the engine by going for a stage 2 engine map (260-270bhp) when it can handle 420bhp before it needs any work.

I've got the scorpion sports cats and no problem for the last 3 mots, in fact the emissions are incredibly low, like the factory cats. Engine map will remove the engine light, mine hasn't come on since the map was done over 3 years ago. Stage 1 maps won't stop the light coming on. Custom and...

i don't think it's a very common problem at all. if you look at the cars for sale virtually none have had chain replacements. mine's at 93k and going fine, my cousin has had 2 and both were on original chains (not sure on their mileages but they were 04 or 05 engines). most problems are...

I don't agree with the sports cats having high emissions, mine passed both its last 2 mots easily with very low emissions, fitted with the scorpion sports cats. other than a resonance, which does sound quite good, i don't notice any difference with sports cats. I only fitted them because i had...

the scorpion sports cat for the r32 fits, probably more expensive than one from lucifer on r32oc though.

a group test, these cars aren't standard but you'll see while the audi does have a slight power advantage none of them can reel it in even after the haldex has done it's job of launching it...

Skint

nhn did mine, great job :-)

Sports cats do bring the engine light on but if you have a code reader you can turn it off each time. It won't cause any problems though.

As in the first reply they will also look at which car is involved in more accidents. Do the 140 & 170 have the same brakes?

Insurance groups are completely different from how it used to be. Insurers will also take in to account the brakes and quattro giving better grip. I insure my a3 v6 with modifications declared as my main car and our 1.6 Picasso as the second car because the Audi is cheaper to insure despite...
