Just got back from AUDI - after the EPC light came on yesterday. They tell me the catalytic converter needs replacing. Second one they have done.

Hi James,
thanks for the info. It's good to know they know what the problem is and know how to fix it without any hassle. My X5's auto has a tranny noise when downshift from 3rd to 2nd and after 2 years and 3 times replacing transmission fluid which fix the problem for about 6 months then the noise returns, they (BMW Aust) can't work out a permanent fix. Glad to move on to Audi!

They are the larger sections of your exhaust system. You have four of them. One on each downpipe and one on each side further downline before your resonance box. I thought they might have shown you the offending part. you could shine a light in it to see if it was melted or something else had happened to it.:mech:

So they have replaced the Cat converter. So far so good. Car then developed a strong rattle from the exhaust. Turns out the little flaps that open in the exhaust when you push the SPORTS button is rattling. They are ordering a new muffler for me.

Two days after i get the cat back - the EPC light is back on. :( - back she goes.

Will keep you up to date. james

Sorry to hear of all the problems. You think these cars built by Quattro would have better QC standards.
