Catalytic Converters
 

My wife drives a 2003 A4 with about 90,000 miles -- engine light came on -- she took it to the local gas station and was told that her two catalytic converters were shot and need replacement -- she had them do it -- cost was $2,700 -- I think I got taken -- any suggestions? -- are there really two converters? -- do they often need replacement? -- HELP!!

its under emissions warranty until 100K get it replaced at a dealership

What the previous poster stated. I got mine taken care of at a dealership. You might want to see if there is anything the dealership can do for you.

You got taken. When that code comes on it could be the o2 sensor's. 30 to 40 bucks.

I thoguht it was 80k?

Either way, $2700 is an awful lot to spend on cats.

i got mine done at 98k my dealership told me it was 100k

you can buy a HFC for $300, and a stocker for less. got taken
