IT RAINS.

I get three main codes:

the oxygen sensor
accelerator pedal adjustment
Boost pressure thing.

I forgot to copy the code numbers.

Each time its happened it happens in the rain.

VALLEY MOTORS in Cockeysville/Hunt Valley MD saw it once already and couldnt do jack **** to fix it.

Going to Rockville Audi today. Anyone else get these lights and codes in the rain?

Strange, sound like a water mgt. issue. Maybe a loose connector?

Default Well

O2 sensor sounds like a remnant of your ignition coil issue. Accelerator pedal adjustment sounds like you need to do a TBA. Boost pressure could be because of your chip or bypass valve.

I have never had any problems in the rain, or in the dry or the snow for that matter.

Default Are you chipped? Was your cover (plastic top) to your ECU box ever openned?....

Do you feel water on your feet or is the area around the foot well wet? If so, chances are the cover was wrongly removed and broken and letting water in.

You are correct, my mistake. I wanted to address the original post.

Default but I never had a coil issue.....

by the way, there is a nice looking silver B6 with painted lowers and an upgraded exhaust at Rockville Audi (no tinted windows).....

Whosever that is, it looks GOOD.

And a nice new silver on black S4 sitting out there too, 50K sticker.
