What to do?

[Cozza McA]

My exhaust front flexi joint has been blowing for a good while now, so Im between getting Audi genuine supply and fit for £700 or buying and eBay one for £150, and fitting myself. Which seems to good to be true.I'm one for doing it right the first time so buy cheap buy twice.So what do u think I should do.?
Cheers

P.S the car is a 2007 1.6FSI Sline

Hell no, leave Audi well alone, go to an exhaust place.

Mine was doing this a while back, took it to a garage near where I work and they said it needed a new cat as flexi's can't be done separate. Price they quoted me was £400+ just for the cat!

Took it to a recommended exhaust place and they did both flexi's for just under £200

Yeh wasn't keen on going to Audi.
I had asked around some exhaust places (quickfit and somewhere else) but the were saying 4-500ish. Not many places up north where I am.
yeah like u said leeds2592 cow of the cat that's why it's some dear.
