cel

[italian a4 1032]

on the way home from school a cel with check under it came on/ mil malfunction indicator light
i looked it up and it has something to do with the engine electronic system
i have 35400 miles and it also says it needs to be serviced in 100 miles does that have anything to do with it? and do i need to service it if i got an oil change at like 33000?

Oil changes every 3-4K man. Do that, some plugs, maybe a fuel filter and call it a day (I'm due for that service pretty soon).

Did you actually check your codes and get a number or anything?

i dont have a vag

autozone will tell you code for free

Your ecu cover is prolly leaking. Try to tighten both inner and outer shell. This happened to me as well as my friend. He told me about this issue and it has been fixed since I tightened...but yea, see what the code is for...I never checked mine and I want to know.

ok i went to autozone and got the code P0441 the guy there said it might be something with the purge valve and then I went to the stealership and they couldnt tell me whats wrong with it unless I bring my car in and didnt know if its covered under warranty or not
any idea whats wrong?

bump

[downhillracer]

that is an evap leak code... you may have not tightened you gas cap all the way.. or have a bad gas cap.. or actually have a leak (not common) probably gas cap

ok so i brought the car to audi today and they said there were 2 coolant leaks which will be covered under my warranty and theres also something wrong with the freeze plug I guess its something to do with engine block and they want almost $300 for it plus 100 for the warranty deductible, do you think thats too much for the freeze plug?

[italian a4 1032]

yayyyyy i have this cel again

[JeffM03]

Is it the same code? Just saying you have a CEL doesn't really tell us much...

Why are the two other coolant leaks covered under warranty and not the freeze plug? Dealer should fix that also under warranty.

There's a technical service bulletin (TSB) out on that freeze plug. Yes, $300 is too much for that work IMO, but probably the same price at any dealership. If you have mechanical ability and the desire to work on your car and DIY, here's how to replace that freeze plug yourself -- link to post which includes TSB link.

yep thats what mine did it had a crack in it and was messing the ecu up.. every time i washed my car and drove in rain... but i got a new cover at the dealer for 35 and replaced it and no problems

yes same code which sucks because ive been trying to sell this car so i dont drive it anymore but my other car broke 2 weeks ago and my parents havent had it fixed yet becuase its been too cold for my neighbor to look at it

Well, an easy fix would be to replace the gas cap. A more advanced fix would be to replace the EVAP canister.
