VAG Error

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/1942/dtc.jpg"></center><p>My Check Engine light came on a couple weeks ago but went out after 4 days of driving. My friend ran his vag tool on my car and found these fault codes. Should I panic?

You should go in...possibly a bad ignition coil...or a faulty injector...bad plug on cyl #2

Did you previously start the car, drive/idle for just a minute or two and shut down?

If so, don't worry. You had a temporary flooded condition from the cold start extra fuel enrichment.

Otherwise, as suggested - check it out at the dealer..

It's intermittent....

Try clearing the codes and see if they come back. Those codes could have been there for quite a while.

Re: VAG Error

You could swap coils to check them and worst case it is not that difficult to swap injectors. You would be able to see if the problem moves with either piece.
