I have the replacement, but can't locate it under the hood. Anyone know where it is, I've searched under the hood with no luck.

thank you for any help!

Thank you so much for the pics! Removed the Audi cover and there it was staring at me in the face.

Replaced the valve. Does anyone know if the check engine light (code PO455) will clear on its own if that was the problem? I don't have a VAC tool and Autozone won't clear it.

Thanks again!

Pretty sure that one doesn't clear on its own. Cheapest route is to get an OBD dongle on Amazon that works with your phone (BT for Android, Wifi for iPhone) and an app like Torque. It's a good investment to make anyway if you own any car. Especially if you own an Audi.

This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/ieGeek-Wireless-Diagnostic-Scanner-Adapter/dp/B00B3K2X4M/

Disconnect of the battery should do the trick.

Ha! Always forget about that trick. I have like three scan tools so I never even think twice about plugging in to clear codes. For the price of the wireless dongle, it really is worth picking one up, though!

I just ordered it, it will certainly come in handy. Thank you for the info!

I have the Amazon plug in with the Shift app, works great for $15 altogether and can read check engine codes on any car
