Exhaust Blowing

[Kriss]

So, the exhaust has started blowing on my S3. Really bad at cold fast idle, then gets better when it warms up. It is still really noticeable under load and sounds like a tractor. Tried to have a look and i think it's the mani to turbo gasket. I'm wondering, where around the west midlands (Cov, warwick, or even banbury) could I get it sorted? I'd like to find a specialist to do it, rather than Audi due to the cost i expect to incur from them.

Many thanks.

Any garage should be able to do a simple job like that, just make sure they use genuine Audi gasket, after market ones are crap.

This is a pretty simple job if you go about it in the correct manor - If you've got the correct tools it'd be worth having a pop your self, will save you 50 quid or so.

I don't doubt it's a fairly straight forward job, but I work away from home so my access to tools and garage space is non existent.
