Update!!!

After some research, I found out that my CAT/bank_2 is the issue and it's not a flash that I need... I found that the CATs are not cheap. I have found some online that range from $280-$380 and of course the dealer has them for $900. I recieved a price qoute of $230 for the labor. The guy that can do the labor said that he would suggest I opt and buy the one from the dealer because the ones online, like for example from "partsbin.com" don't have the same tolerance level as the dealer CATs even though they are cosidered OEM/direct fit. He said that they my last 15k or so... My question is...is this true with some of you that have replaced your CATs? And if there are brands that can measures up to the dealer CATs within a reasonable price range?

Also does anyone have any instructions on hw to replace the CV Axles for the 2.8 A6?

Thanks!

this relates to the reflash - but i have a similar low efficiency
code - P0421, which has been coming on repeatedly, changed o2 sensors and still comes up. since my ecu is chipped by apr, Audi can't reflash it, but just talked to apr and they will be able to reflash it with the correct TSB, so hopefully that'll fix it - and possibly may save the $200+ the dealer quoted me for the reflash (which should be free in my mind)
