I know I'm bummed, it dripped all over my radar detector... I searched and found this http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...-mirror-for-75

$75 is alot cheaper than the 300+ for a brand new OEM mirror...

Yep! my car loves to complain about the messed up emissions systems on our cars. I ignore it.

**flynnr** · 09-30-2010 06:26 PM

mine is runnin great! i have too much fun on the daily. great WI roads can be a good time. ill have to take some pics tomorrow

**Castor Troy** · 09-30-2010 07:04 PM

havnt driven mine in 2 months :(

next time it moves will be under the power of a v8, so i take comfort in that

**dtmeurosport** · 09-30-2010 07:37 PM

She was running great, despite a loud tuttuttuttut noise under boost. Maybe an exhaust leak? I wouldn't be surprised if banging my exhaust on every bump on the road finally rattled something loose

**coolgraymemo** · 09-30-2010 07:45 PM

Ran great. I am feeling it will need a transmission oil change soon; shifting is starting to get harder.

**Thi** · 09-30-2010 07:46 PM

New h&r rsb. Finally some cool temp down here in La. Pulls great! esp round corners.

**discontained** · 09-30-2010 08:34 PM

My check engine light turned off, i think either something broke or the light burned out haha. I got new tires and its running great!

**NeedingAnAudi** · 09-30-2010 08:45 PM

Sounds very pissed off with only a gutted cat for exhaust! She runs good but isn't street legal so I'm bound to the driveway

**BlurredRings** · 10-01-2010 06:11 AM

with a cel on again (camshaft position actuator), i wonder how it'll run in the rain???

**Kyle H** · 10-01-2010 08:01 AM

My car is in the shop having it's wheel bearing replaced and the coilovers raised. I'm excited to get her back though! should be nice not having the back wheel wobbling around.

hahah nice, thats crazy. how much is it costing you to drop a V8 in there?

**.Mad Hatter.** · 10-01-2010 09:30 AM

mine runs and pulls strong after 7 weeks of not driving it. yay!

**SmokeTheRear** · 10-01-2010 11:27 AM

**.Mad Hatter.** · 10-01-2010 11:51 AM

Lol, this once happened to me as well! For me, the light ended up coming back a few days later but in the meantime I was quite confused :/

either way i just dont want any problems, CEL's with my car. all this modding sounds fun though

**flynnr** · 10-02-2010 07:53 AM

trust me its OE not the k04's fault... i ran a k04 to the max for a long time (fking awesome btw...) but now im BT and havent had a single problem with this yet either... maybe im just lucky but i have had awesome luck with this car!

**lowandslow4now** · 10-02-2010 08:04 AM

I never had any major problem with my BT A4. I understood my limits and the limits of the car and respected it.

**bigACA4** · 10-02-2010 08:08 AM

How long? im really interested in running a K04 what are all the "goodies" and is a chip really necessary? ive been hearing so many friggin different things

. Maybe one straightforward answer from you would put the nail in the coffin.

This happened to me awhile ago, but with my abs/brake light. I was severely confused haha. It looked so odd with no lights on! haha

And my car is running good.
Just time for some new rotors/pads and an oil change.

**Saskwatch** · 10-02-2010 08:43 AM

ecu fried after being chipped for a year, back to stock boost on a non chipped ecu..

i am disappoint....

**Frankie b5** · 10-02-2010 08:59 AM

Brake light and abs light turned off today... Then turned back on an hour later haha o'well it was good while it lasted... Then a different break light came on... Havnt looked into it yet though

**pipe7284** · 10-02-2010 09:35 AM

**mtexeiraPR07** · 10-02-2010 11:03 AM

dude,
me too, got a cel p1128.
i haven;t cleaned the maf yet and i am so hoping its just a dirty maf.
i would hate to shell $$$ for new tubes, new O2 and who knows what else I darn need.
