Computer Fault Code Re: "Engine Coding"
Yesterday, while my car was hooked up to the computer, it threw a fault code that said something like "Engine coding." My mechanic had seen that code in the past on other model cars and knew how to fix it, by recoding it apparently, but didn't know how to rectify it on my A8 at the moment. I talked with a friend of mine that has an A8 and Vag Com and he has seen that same fault code. He suggested I ignore it being my car seems to be running fine. Since I've cleared the codes, I have had a battery replaced and a California DMV emissions test where it was hooked up to some computer. I wonder if either of those actions had caused this code to pop up?
I'll have my car back into my mechanic again tomorrow, for other things.
What approach, if any do you think I should take next? Is there anyone else out there that has dealt with this in the past? If so, what does it mean and how'd you handle it, or is it a non-issue?
