First and foremost hey Audizine,
Just registered although I have been ghosting around Audizine for 3 years now looking at information on my then current a4.
Just recently came around a well priced used S4 and bought it.
After I got the car I got a MIL light after driving it maybe 20 miles.....
So, long story short I pretty much called the dealer, and told them about the issue (they are in Alabama and I am in Maryland.)
First I tried cleaning the MAF with CRC MAF cleaner and maybe 5 miles later the MIL would come back on. So I don't think its the MAF.
So I went to my dealership (a4 dealership) and I told them the issue. They pulled up misfire in cylinder 3 and 5 caused by bad coilpacks and plugs. So I got that done that day.
They also noticed that the airbox was not on correctly so they fixed this issue for half hour labor and cost of screws which wasn't much anyways.
Now I drove the car for maybe 150 miles or so and the MIL comes back on with the same P0171 code.
Now I'm leaning toward maybe vacuum leaks? I do hear a somewhat hissing noise with the hood up and listening but I'm not too sure. I'm not exactly a mechanic so I go by what I read most the time.
I read on some P0171 code posts that it could be a leak in the crank breather hose?
It's bank 1 so It's on passenger side but I just can't seem to pinpoint it.
I am going to the dealer tomorrow to have it checked as well since I went there to find the issue with the same code previously.
btw the P0171 Bank 1 too lean code came up 2 times. So is that saying there are 2 leaks somewhere?
Thanks in advance.
John
