So the roads were covered in mad snow I have an A4, time for axis spins. So i did axis spins for about seconds, and then my car got really loud, this was after beating on the car hard. I ended up breaking a weld by where the turbo and downpipe/cat meet. Is this bad to drive on?, there is some fire, at idle that comes out in the engine bay. But not CELs, ---

stock components? not too too bad to drive on, but i wouldnt drive on it. the heat has to go somewhere…but if you had to limp it to wherever you are getting it fixed, not so bad. still though, thats really weird, stock weld should def hold, and aftermaret should hold too, its not liek you are running that much pressure…or are you? ---

My TSI AWD took a pretty good pounding thus far too. Even more to come this winter. As for the downpipe. If it’s leaking pre-cat. be careful and get it fixed quickly. Those gases can really mess with other underhood componants. It’d be blowig towards some intake sensors. Not worth the risk. Drive gently and carefully if you do. ---
