My mate took his 225 TT to Engine Advantages for a power run a few weeks ago, it only made 181 BHP and wouldn't rev. past 5000. It was like it was hitting a brick wall, Paul (From EA) thought that there was something restricting the air flow, which was why the car was not allowing it to be revved over 5000. They're clever these Audi's.

Well it went back to EA on Wednesday, and basically Paul discovered that it needs a new Catalytic Converter. This is about £1000 from Audi!

My question is, should the cat. have gone so soon on a car like this? iI's on a Y plate, 2001, I think, and has only done 22K. This doesn't seem right to me.

Opinions please.

Thanks
