Default CEL came on today. Anyone in Seattle willing to read some codes for me?
Yesterday, I bought some electrical contact cleaner and cleaned up all of the electrical connections that I could find in the engine bay (MAF, POS, etc). Well, I must have pissed off the Audi gods because today the CEL came on while I was driving around.

I checked again to make sure that I hooked up everything properly. I guess the two events could be totally unrelated.

Anyone in the Seattle area have a VAG-COM that I could use?

Default Did you try to "blink" out the codes? You dont need a VAG-Com w/ our S4's

I keep a jumper cable and the list of codes in my glovebox. When my MAF went I knew right away.

Default I don't know why they didn't just install a switch...
A switch would probably cost less than one of these to make.

Default Weren't those supposed to come with the car?
I've seen somewhere in the car that tells what it is used for.

Default That came with my car.
Figured I'd post a picture of it since it's probably missing on some cars.

If both conductors were available in the molding, I'd have cannibalized mine for my DIY vag-com.
