Its interesting I do a quick ebay search and find this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3308472127...84.m1423.l2649

Now I could be missing the point here but are they not the same parts here?

Plus I will photo what i can and at least try and get it up on the ramp. I much prefer the thought of going to a proper exhaust company and getting something made.

Not 100% sure what you mean, do you mean in the picture?

The picture is showing 2 different views of the same pipe, 1 from the top (looking down) and 1 from the side.

Get a quote from a local but i don't reckon you'll get lot for under 100 notes.

Its amazing how clear the problem is when the car is on a ramp!

Went to Bells in Swindon, front Flex joint was gone and had been wrapped in tape! The other joint was on its way out also.

New joints all fitted and welded without having to replace anything else.

All in £200

Bells tyres and Exhausts are very good, they can fabricate stuff there and are pretty spot on most of the time Glad you got it sorted, shame I didnt see you out and about - I was in my 8 around Swindon most of the day

Indeed, used Bells a few times with no complaints.

Had a couple of hours to kill and realised how bad Swindon town centre is these days!

lol most of it is being re-developed in various places at the moment, you should have popped in to the outlet village, a much nicer experience

Gents,

Still getting the engine light due to a dicky Lambda. Ran VAGCOM tonight and got the following:

Address 01: Engine
Controller: 4D0 907 558 AB
Component: 3.7L V8/5V G 0002
Coding: 11753
Shop #: WSC 00481
WAUZZZ4D73N002184 AUZ7Z0B2123267
1 Fault Found:
17539 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor: B2 S1: Internal Resistance too High
P1131 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
Readiness: 0010 0101

Can anyone confirm the placement of B2 S1 and also will any old 4 wire lambda do? or do I need a special magic Audi gold plated one?

Put a new lambda in and the fault code returned a couple do days later which was annoying.

Though interestingly changed all the spark plugs and no fault codes so far!

We shall see if this has actually fixed the problem or just will return again in a few days time.
