Default First problem since I got the chip...

My dealership told me that due to my APR chip the O2 sensor on the 1st bank- I will verify, has failed. Anyone have any ideas? I think the sensor itself is $290, and I think total for repair with install is $350+. Sucks, I think they will honor the warrenty if I put the OEM chip in though. What the heck though, been running with the chip for quite a while now, and this JUST failed.... hmmmm APR got any explanation?

Default O2 Sensors are really sensitive... they tend to go often on VWs. Probably same on Audis. I doubt...

it was the chip.

Default 4 wire O2 sensor.....$58....conversion harnesses too....>>

O2 sensors are a universal part. No need to pay Audi prices if warranty doesn't cover it....

Do a google search under " 4 wire O2 sensor" for more!<ul><li><a href="http://www.fwdperformance.com/catalog-electrical.asp">http://www.fwdperformance.com/catalog-electrical.asp</a</li></ul>
