If a shop misplaced the hook up for the temp sensor I'd get them to work on reconnecting AFTER they explain exactly where and how so that you have a chance to do it instead of.......

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

21 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This message appeared on my screen. Is this what pops up for all codes? I was slightly encouraged that it did not say tow to shop.

POST 3Original post

I had this message 2 weeks ago along with a check engine light. Went to Autozone and used their code reader for free. The code was a "left bank rich" code. I reset it and it has not returned. I cleaned the Mass Airflow Sensor and took it for a long drive. I beleive the issue was a substantial amount of short drives and sitting in traffic etc...something I had been doing for the prior week, but is not a normal driving habbit.

POST 4Original post

Fuuny, but my wife says she has a 'drive to shop' all the time!

POST 5Original post

my wife doesn't neet the excuse to 'Drive to Shop' she's pretty damn good at doing it from home and waiting for the UPS truck to arrive.....

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Symptons: Pulled engine & transmission- did LN ims, new plugs, AOS, breather tube, transmission fluid, oil change, etc. and reinstalled. Test drove about 7 miles. All seemed fine. On the drive home, one mile from home an Audi super car that looked like a Lambroughini pulled up next to me and started reving its engine at a light. We both punched it and my light came on. Car ran normal. The only other sympton is I can not find my temp. sensor for the engine bay that used to be over the back bolt of AC compressor. Does anyone know where that wire originates from? Also just pulled battery terminals & replaced and light went away?

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Audi super car... but I was distracted by the engine light. Nice tail lights on that Audi!

POST 10Original post

I bet the Audi caused that... damn things ! well if the battery "reset" cleared it... drive it and see if it repeats IMO

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes- Audi R8- If one pulls up next to you, pretend to tune the radio & ignore unless your in a TT.

A gt3 would suffice....

POST 14Original post

just take him on a real windy narrow road....LOL

POST 15Original post

I suspect that Redridge's car would suffice also.

POST 16Original post

Good thing you didn't get that CEL when the engine was out. If a shop misplaced the hook up for the temp sensor I'd get them to work on reconnecting AFTER they explain exactly where and how so that you have a chance to do it instead of....... If you did the pull the engine then oops

I agree. That supercharger kicks butt. I love driving his car.

why is that, are the audi R8 supose to be bad, i've noticed that ALOT of porsche owners also owns audi's, are they suppose to be really good cars.

Weeelllll if it's the R8 5.2 that would be published 0-60 of 3.7 sec. with a top speed of 196. And, with mid mounted engine and Quattro drive, I'm not too sure we could lose it in the twisties either. Quite frankly, at the risk of drawing the ire of folks here on this board, it looks like a nice car. A bit of a pig at over 3700 lbs though. Also, a bit too much bling on the exterior but I still would like to take a long spin in one.
