Yea, you can clear it but you erase all of the history files of the code. Good chance your secondy air valve or solnoid is going bye bye and if you ignore it the exhaust could back up into the air pump and take it out. oh well it's only money - yours. Just a thought take it to a good Audi independent shop get it scanned and fixed - to nice of car to let it go.

Default OK if it will prevent passing smog, I don'tknow why it would but get a VAG and just clear it before.
