hey guys!
I was driving today and my car started stuttering, Thinking one of my plugs died. while I was driving home, my car was going 5-10 miles per hour even when I was flooring it.
When I drove home I smelled something burning. I opend the hood and my CAT was burning RED HOT! WTF!
Any suggestions,don't have a VAG, will bring it in first thing in the am.

update: a few days later my CEL came on for a bad CAT, brought it into Audi and they replaced it because it was less than 80K miles. I was lucky cuz I was almost at 80K. lol
