    Re: 2 warning lights...

    did you stop the engine and restart it and see if the lights are still there? it could have just been a missfire at startup

    bleh, came back from the apr dealer.
    turns out that Audi had a ecu update.
    we called Apr headquarters and they said that there are some cases that the car needs to be flashed with the Audi update and then reflashed Apr.
