I was forced to park in a terrible dirt lot at work and as I backed up, I heard scraping. I was pretty positive it was just my muffler (pretty new 3" magnaflow) cause there was a 3" line in the ground.


Next thing I know, I'm not getting my usual 300-315 mi per tank. It was down around 255. I did a small test: filled the tank, drove like 30 miles, did the math and .....

17MPG HIGHWAY

I always do the simple division at the pump and I am CERTAIN I was getting 23overall before last week


the mechanic that fabricated my exhaust said those things are real thick and hard to dent. he was pointing to my breaks and lines that seem to need replacing. Said that the tires weren't spinning freely on the lift and there may be dragging.....

so was rolling over a slightly frozen dirt mound just a coincidence or what? I need to figure this out cause I'm already on the verge of throwing a stick of dynamite in the thing and collecting the insurance. My friggen ABS engages between 20-10mph only and it makes me want to punt a small child.

angry. please help. thanks in advance.

no one?

 

check your tire pressure

 

sounds like you have brake problems and exhaust. you have looked at the exhaust and made sure there isnt a constricting area where it was crushed or somthing? other then that possble brake problems, draging or frozen calipers?
who knows without the car to look at it.

check engine light? quattro?
