light with that code...(please correct me if I'm wrong)...it's been a while since I've seen that. That code can be set if you really push the car hard....(i believe that's how I set it before)

The DTC's I've been getting was for an O2 sensor correction factor. THis is due to either bad cats or bad O2 sensors or both. It is set when the ECU doesn't see a proper secondary O2 sensor voltage after the inline cats.

sorry....did you get a look at that inlet IC hose yet on the driver's side? - Mr. Piggie(mike01s4) 2002-04-24 07:38:53 (834 views)

What about an almost metalic sounding noise along with the siren sound?...more... - 4LinkS4 2002-04-24 07:22:20 (1247 views)

That's me definately. I know mine are suspect. - Buckhood 2002-04-24 09:59:14 (867 views)

I have that same sound! I'm about 6,000 miles from being out of warranty too! What should I do????? - 2000 S4 - Ben 2002-04-24 09:14:43 (1166 views)

I believe that the turbos are covered for 7 yrs/70,000 miles as part of the exhaust system...... - AaronS4 2002-04-24 12:40:55 (1448 views)

Is that true in PA as well, or only CA? - 2000 S4 - Ben 2002-04-24 14:45:00 (927 views)

Heard same in CA commonwealth - scMichelle 2002-04-25 09:31:08 (668 views)

Be damn sure you buy an extended warranty? - LCP 2002-04-24 09:15:56 (970 views)

If I take it to the dealership and tell them about the noise, will they replace the turbo? - 2000 S4 - Ben 2002-04-24 09:19:53 (934 views)

Yes, if the boost is low - scMichelle 2002-04-25 09:32:08 (883 views)

Maybe, keep pressing them. Force them to give you denials of replacement in writing... - LCP 2002-04-24 09:26:37 (782 views)

So are you saying that I sould be alarmed or not? - 4LinkS4 2002-04-24 07:27:41 (787 views)

that's how you're supposed to react after a siren goes off :) - Mr. Piggie(mike01s4) 2002-04-24 07:39:53 (657 views)

My turbos sounded totally normal up until about 5-10 minutes before they blew. - MidWestS4 2002-04-24 07:18:49 (1566 views)
