Default Where to fix DTCs 17536, 17538, 17551?

I recently got the following DTCs and 2000 A8's CEL went on.

1. 17536, P1128, Long Term Fuel Trim mult.,Bank1 System too Lean
2. 17538, P1130, Long Term Fuel Trim mult.,Bank2 System too Lean
3. 17551, P1143, Load Calculation Cross Check Upper Limit Exceeded

I've read up on these DTCs here at AW (thanks for the great information!). Since I'm still under warranty, I would like to let the dealer resolve the problem. Which competent dealer in the NY/NJ area is going to fix it right the first time around and not give me the run-around???

On a related note, has anyone gone to independent shops to get warranty work done? How do you get reimbursed on such work from AoA? Is this the better course of action? What shops would you recommend?

Thanks in advance for your help. Cross-posted in other forums.

Default Your MAF died... if your car falls into this extended warranty,

your dealership will cover it.

Default so they don't "DIE", but if your car falls into that warranty gap

why not get a new one for free..

Default It's going to the dealer ...

Hopefully they'll fix it right ... don't want the CEL coming right back on, as has been the case with a number of AWers (so I've read).
