Default Need these DTCs in laymans terms. (m)

About a week ago my check engine light came on and finally this morning I was able to get the car in.

Here are the VAG codes that were returned:
17866 - Exhaust Gas temperature sensor 2 short to ground, Sporadic Fault

17544 - Long Term Fuel Trim Add. Fuel, Bank 1 System too Lean

17546 - Long Term Fuel Trim Add. Fuel, Bank 2 System to Lean

They did some testing of the vacum system i guess and found a leak. The result was to Replace T Check Valve to Vacum Tank.

Can anyone shed some additional light on what all this means? I would really appreciate any knowledge that you guys would like to impart upon me.

Thanks,

Jake

Default you need a new EGT sensor...

trust me, that will only get worse and begin to affect performance if it is not replaced. not sure about the others.
