Default Audi tech suggested to me

that the sensor might be used in future models (or even 01) to help control next-service-milage value.

I asked if it was like BMW - measuring ph, or whatnot in the engine. He didn't have the details and couldn't even confirm current US cars made use of it... but it sounded good
