So far they really are nice. Told that they are a little tight though. I have the Corsa Pace and they sound awesome. Enjoy! I think they are good for the $

hi
have an 01 A4

I have dynamaxx long tube, with high flow cats about 1/1/2 old professionally installed and dynoed- been thru 3 sets of sensors, according to dealer checking - and i forgot to get old parts -- acting up again and not getting sensor bad codes.. just check engine light and radio or HVAC codes --Got some BO RFA - codes u1064 and one other

never have gotten good mileage without GWOT -doing real easy driving and testing with head math not the computer - about 15 18 around town best on high way has been 23

at 70 im at about 2000 RPM -

But about the sensors - I am ready to bring back to guy again but can I tell if they are crossed from top with out lifting car?

I have cats so you said the back ones make no difference if they are crossed or not..

Have a Vararam and they Dynamaxx, Borla stingers, only mods and dynoed


From looking at the pics how would they get crossed - from top and across left to right and right to left ???

I am doing my C4 and will mark crossed not crossed if that is an issue

Hi, You can't tell if the O2 are crossed from the top. have to go from underneath. The fronts should be right to right and left to left. I had the sensor cross problem and mine where installed professionally too. It's real easy to do because of the way the holes are on the headers at least with the LG set up). I get a code too every now and then, I think we all do at some point. I had the car tuned and the rear O2 deleted. I get good mileage though on highway..65mph in 6th I get 26mpg. It's the cit driving that's killing me..12 -18mpg tops. Oh well. We have to trade off somewhere. And yes, if looking at the pics thats what the mechanic did. He took the right side O2 went over the top of the right header and put it in the left header O2 bung hole and vice a versa for the opposite side.

Hi
The dealer did the switching after installing new ones 3 times -had them check yesterday and then ran like heck ---Terrible at low end - has big miss in it.

They have it back - going to have back sensors undone thats what throws the codes - with the high flow cats -- if I have to go back thru emissions then will have put back on drive it for a week so computer knows they are there, pass and undo ---
Dont know what the miss is -- thats thier problem - ran good when I brought it them -

You know as many times as you hear about people crossing the O2s, you think some one would figure out to mark one side or the other with a piece of tape (tape Left) or (tape right) on the O2 at the pipe end so they can get the thing put back together right instead of guessing.

That is exactly what i did...put marked masking tape on both instead of one..only because with my luck the one will somehow get removed , and i will be back to guessing again.
