Driver and passenger exhaust gas tempature units...... Hopefully I can get them changed out easily :alcoholic:punch:

Oh yea, One EGT for reach side (V6) and 2 O2's per side as well... Add my wideband sensor and thats a total of 7 sensors in the exhaust stream! $$$

Josh you would LOVE the factory ECU (Bosch Motronic ME7.1) it has been opened up so much that it is as tunable as a High quailty standalone system.

Did you search the internet for those parts?

You can typically find parts half off.

that's too bad, everyone i know that's ever had an audi has not been real positive about the experience.

IA gave me a little discount, they were $400 & $395 retail

Not realy EGT probes like your thinking, just sensors
to monitor if the cat is firing off.

Couple of 59cent resistors and some creative wiring
could have elimanated those pesky ET sensors :shades

[BoosTT]

lol. My audi glove box handle is OVER $900, just the 3 inch handle. Turn signal bulb is $20. Awesome car, but prepare to pay for parts.

[lordairgtar]

We have wired up those sensors (not the red part) for different applications. They cost over $60.00 alone.

That's a bummer. ):

I cant express how happy I was to finally get rid of my Audi.

If you have a VAG-COM, you can get realtime updates on your exhaust temps. Also, you can reprogram the car so that it displace the EGT on a guage.

Audis have all sorts of potential that %99 of tuners are not aware of.


If I had more money, I'd replace my A4 with an S4 or Allroad. If I had even more money, i'd buy an RS6.

I think I'm experienceing Audi-Brand-Loyalty? (i need to get my head checked...again)

[Waver]

dont get me wrong....audis are nice, and I wouldnt mind a s4 or that wagon with the s4 engine. However, if I had to get a vw/audi I would choose a jetta gli with the 6 speed manual instead.

[shoooo32]

german engineering + reliability = BMW. Don't be fooled by the Audi/VW's pretty interior and sweet turbo noises. Even the dealership couldn't fix some of the problems with my car. I traded it in on a 330xi and have never been happier.

my cousins 850csi is still going strong with more than 100k on it, body still loks mint

MMMMM a high-hp Allroad would be the bees knees! :) Talk about super sleeper!
