It usually splits underneath the jubilee clip at the bottom of the hose, so it's almost impossible to detect without taking it off ! Here's the tech article on AW.

Re: TBB split question
Its possibly just as easy to change it if there is any doubt. They only cost about £7 from Audi

Tweaky

Re: TBB split question
You can hear the difference here. Scroll down to Exhaust Runs and download the MPEGS!
Re: TBB split question
Mine split the other week towards the end of a day on the track [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
It was the opposite site to the small hole, piccy in galery.

Re: TBB split question
great thanks for that....now i am tempted with the apr bi-pipe. Hmmmmm
If you do, check with Joshie and me before fitting as we certainly have some suggestions to improve the process...

Re: TBB split question
Mine split right at the sensor entry point, but was almost impossible to spot without removing the TBB.
If you're in any doubt just take it off and inspect. It litterally takes 15-20mins to remove inspect and refit.
Sometimes a small film of oil can be seen or felt underneath the TBB. (i.e. the oil vapour coming up through the intercooler.)
I always carry a spare in the boot compartment and the tools to change. No probs so far! [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]
