Do you mean replace as in yours has a fault and you need a new OE part or you want to upgrade it?

If you want OE parts then Main Dealer or local TPS branch for original Audi, for OE spec parts try GSF or Euro Car Parts.

For aftermarket upgrades, I believe Milltek are hgihly regarded for VAG applications. They have stockiests in Glasgow, Kirkcaldy, Borders, Carsile, Aberdeen.

Just want to upgrade it mate,had problems with the front flexis and to buy

new one from audi is one section for 1150 pounds which is pretty dear,so i got

a mate to put to new flexis welded in and theres a whistle noise,and got it

checked out and its coz the new flexis i have put in that make that noise,

milteck do cat back but i need to find a supplier to give me a reasonable

price for front section as audi prices is dear,but if the worst come i will have

to buy of them,thanks

Understand now. I just looked on Euro Car parts web site, they don't do any pattern exhaust parts for your car. Unfortunaltey it looks like an Audi or performance (milltek etc) part only.

Only other option is to try something like breakeryeard.com or parts gateway for a second hand piece.

i will just have to keep looking about mate i got the mot done anyway last week so the welded flexi job worked for the emisssions for the mot

but want to get the right part for it now so looks like its gona be expensive but worth it in the long run,

talking about 1600 pound to put the front section on from audi and 500 to 700 pound for the cat back from miltex

thats unless some one else has any better ideas

thanks for your help mate

I feel your pain. I have a fault with either the lambda sensors or the cats themselves on both banks. The cats are £800 each from Audi

Heres hoping its the sensors.

am sure i will pull though it mate,just glad i work offshore haha

that front section on mine is the 2 flexis down pipes and 2 cats thats why its so expensive

i wouldnt have thought the cats wernt have been that expensive?

has it got long on mot left?

you could always go for straight through pipes??avoiding that expence on cats??

but more likely ot could be the sensors?
