Sometimes I dislike this car, most of the time I love it...
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/81296/checkplz.t.jpg"></center><p>Pic for views...
As I was driving to class today I noticed my car was running strong... I was smiling, as usual. After a stop sign my car started to put put down the street. The CEL goes on and again I say WTF, again? This CEL goes on probably three times a week.
I get this code often (which I got today) :
16805 - Warm Up Catalyst; Bank 1: Efficiency Below Threshold
P0421 - 35-10 - - Intermittent
After searching the archives and asking about it... I still don't know what it is. I was thinking an O2 sensor, but wouldn't it specifically say something about the O2sensors? (I have stock DownPipes)
Another option is a Catalyst, because it does specificaly say it...
I'm noticing the putting, and the studdering... does that sound like a symptom of a bad Cat.? I'm also hearing a burbling sound that definitely not my exhaust, unless it is a huge leak --I am such a nOObiE.
Another question... anyone in the Philly area (montgomery/bucks county) know of a place that can bend back my stock avus wheel?
If you've made it this far without clicking 'Back' I just want to thank you for taking the time out of your life to read this post! : )

Wow, you have to work pretty hard to bend an Avus rim! Personally, I would just buy a used one.
Repaired rims aren't always as strong or equally balanced as a new one.
You should be able to pick up a used Avus for $100 to $150.

Wheel collision center , Bath, Pa.
I've had several sets of wheels worked on there.
They're not cheap but they do a good job.
I had my O2s replaced under warrenty and cats
replaced with AWEs high flow 400 cell w/ downpipes.
It sounds like your O2s are going bad to me.
