The complex flow resulting from the laminar-turbulent transition in a sudden expansion pipe flow, with expansion ratio of 1:2, subjected to an inlet parabolic velocity profile and a vortex perturbation, is investigated by means of direct numerical simulations. It is shown that the threshold amplitude for disordered motion is described by a power law scaling, with -3 exponent, as a function of the subcritical Reynolds number. The instability originates from a region of intense shear rate, which results on the flow symmetry breakdown. Above the threshold, several unsteady states are identified using space-time diagrams of the centreline axial velocity fluctuation and their energy. In addition, the simulations show a small hysteresis transition mode due to the reestablishment of the recirculation region in the subcritical range of Reynolds numbers, which depends on: (i) The initial and final quasi-steady states, (ii) the observation time and (iii) the number of intermediate steps taken when increasing and decreasing the Reynolds number.
