Default Hey Bob, it's back

Check engine light came on last night. I will pull the code today...and it goes to CPT tomorrow...if it's the lean code (which I think it will be) I'll have them test the system for leaks.

They actually have a setup that they hook up to the intake air hose and then hook a vacuum pump up to it to see if there is an actual air leak. Or so I think they do.

Default Re: Hey Bob, it's back

Paul, I had a CEL a while ago and the code reader gave a code related to a lean condition on bank two if I'm not mistaken. After changing all the small hoses (sh...job !) I ended up at the dealer and guess what it was the MAF (changed under Audi extended warranty for 2001A8L.
Just an oppinion.

Default yeah, me too. It's right on the edge because sometimes it'll go off by itself.

Curious to see what they find, maybe there's something we're all missing? I did already replace my MAF and vac lines so I'm ruling them out (for now).

I re-sealed the intake manifold when I fixed the intake runners so that should be good too.
