Default usually means a blend door motor is not working properly. Some are easy

to get to, others not so easy. Quite often they are easy to access on the sides of the center stack once you remove the trim panel (in the case of the center vent).

Default I think it has something to do with a motor in the AC system...

someone had something similar a while ago and was researching it. When I shut off the music, I can clearly hear an electric whining coming from the vents, it sounds like something that is stuck and keeps trying to move (my description sucks a little but it would make sense if you heard the sound). Listen through your dash vents, you might hear it. I think I would have to change or reset that motor to fix it but I don't feel like taking the dashboard apart.

Default i have the same code. haven't had time to troubleshoot it yet.

i have a feeling these motors are prone to failure.<ul><li><a href="http://wiki.ross-tech.com/index.php/01274">Clicky Click</a></li></ul>

Default It's not "turn signal fluid" it's "blinker fluid". You have to use the correct terminology.

My blinker fluid is at MAX and it's Audi approved so I don't think it's the problem.

Default Just laughed wayyy too loud for my office...

Did you have to install a 2nd boost gauge to accommodate the increase in PSI from your maxxxed out fluid?

Default Nah. I don't think it's needed.
