[A8] Catalytic Converter

[Cody Forbes]

!!!! "it finally stopped"...... that's frightening to read! The only way it 
suddenly just stopped is if it's out of oil. That's not good.


I'll add that my A8q had a bad tailshaft seal and was leaking transmission 
fluid on the cats. Pretty simple replacement, but does require removing the 
exhaust and driveshaft.
