St. Louis APR Tuned A3 Emissions Problems
Ok so I read up on Piggies today and this is what i heard. I hear only the true vast piggies work well because of the relocated o2 sensors wich don't throw a CEL I belive the sensors are moved only slightly to a diffrent angle or position and not completly behind the Cat. I dont understand this however becuase if you have a fault code eraser wouldn't that tell the engine eveything is runing as it should. I know the o2 sensors can have an effect on performance/mpg's, but if there is no CEL shouln't the car be in working order? I just don't see a reason to spend the $395, YES THEY RAISED THE PRICE, for piggies that I can get done just as well for 125. even with the fault code eraser its still about 100 cheaper than the piggies.
well, see you are right but wrong... and they probably raised the price cause more and more people are ordering, that is they way of business... start high.... lower price as demand grows, then raise it back up
but back to the other... o2 sensors are there to adjust the air fuel mix as your car works/cat works...
here is a pretty good read

The OEM catalytic converter is ordered and we should be back on the road within a couple of days. I called the dealer and John confirmed that the part is $800 with a $150 core charge whichwe have to pay since my current one isn't stock, ouch.
Even though APR has dropped the ball on this one, John with Reid Vann has been awesome. I highly recommend him and his shop. I'm sure APR will write some code to correct this issue but I don't have time to wait for them. Thanks for everyone's input.
