Default Problem after problem..

Can anyone help me here? There is a soft "clicking" noise that seems to be intermittently comming on and off from the rear, fuel door side (I think) of the car...fuel pump?. I noticed this tonight

Also, I went to my mechanic who turned off my CEL last week and told me it was on because of "low battery voltage". Battery is fine now and the CEL is back on. This has all happened since I put in a 710n bpv. Now its back on, I have an annoying click noise, and if you have read my past posts, my ABS light is STILL on. NEVER USE AUTOECU.COM!!! I feel like I am fixing something every day on this car!

Does anyone have any suggestions besides my future plans of getting an S4?

99.5 A4 1.8TQMS, 18 flik w/toyo T1-s, passport 8500 hardwire, clear corner mod, HD TRE's, K&N, APR 1.0 91+, FM modulated CD changer, and others...

Default Yeah, Dont get an S4.

They arent exactly known to be reliable.

Its my understanding that they are even less reliable than the 1.8


Another Idea.

Disconnect your CEL.

Attach it to somehting that makes a sound when it blinks.

VAG your car once a week.

or just dont worry about a stupid little light.

Mine is on.

I will fix it eventually.

is it something that needs attention? Not really.

Probably just effecting my performance and Gas mileage.

Default oh yea, same here.

I haven't been on the past couple weeks, ridiculous amounts of work to do and finals. This summer I'll probably be around a lot though.
