    'check engine' lights up for a few days and then turns off.

    this has happened 4 time in the last 3 weeks. (its been hitting 104F for the past month)

    finally got it in to my local audi guy today, and the car threw out a 'P3081' error code!

    any ideas what this is? and what needs to be done?

    thanks
    :)

    thanks again to old guy

    for anyone interested, here is the issue: Click here.

    looks like i will be swapping my Coolant Temperature Sensor..... which would explain why the check engine light goes on when its super hot outside..... probably some confusion happens when the sensor is sending the wrong temperature, maybe causing more/or less fuel to come into the engine, which confuses other parts and send off the check engine warning! or something along these lines.....
