Bank 2 sensor 1 - most likely that oxygen sensor is on its way out.

I have cleared it and it came back. Do you know if this is the driver side rear oxygen sensor?

Default There is a Service Bulletin for this.

Audi set the cat efficency spec. too tight in the ecu software. They offer an ecu flash to fix the problem if you have a stock chip in your ecu.

Some after market chip suppliers have integrated this into there software. For example APR has made the change in their stage 2+ software, but not their stage 1 program.


Quick Reply: Can someone please help me with these codes..
