    oh look a CEL light

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So im pretty new to audis. I have a 2003 A4 1.8T 5spd. I have never had a CEL before. Well no there is one. I just got home from seeing transporter 3. Great movie, so I decided to drive a bit hard on the way home. Well it was 40 degrees out side and I was hauling up a huge hill. I pull into my driveway and stop. The CEL instantly pops on. It idles fine. Anyone have any idea? Sorry its a long post.

    I've got 5 bucks on a lean code.

    Also, i'd like to laugh at the guy with the informative Alphabet.

    okay thank you. I was just wondering if there was anything common from running hard in the cold up a huge ass hill. Sorry for the errors but I was tried and a bit frustrated. Thanks for the input.
