Re: 1.5bar Exh Man?

Steve,

I need a professional to check these out, it is beyond my DIY capabilities.
Unfortunately, it was a professional that did the fix in the first place.
This was just another of the "it didn't do that when I brought it in"
repairs.  Currently looking for a new mechanic.

Thanks for the tips.  I will certainly pass them on to the lucky winner of
my biz (and my donations to the Audi Gods).

Will post results when available.

Thanks,
