Default Just vagged my car, anyone with some advice would be great and well appreciated.....................

I went in for an oil change and these logs were found in my car:

16891-idle control system RPM:higher than expected

17521-oxygen (Lambda) sensor; B1 S1: Internal resistance too high

16684-Random/Multiple cylinder misfire detected

16687-cylinder 3:misfire detected

My car has been pinging latley, if I change the oxygen sensor do you think that it will fix the other problems??

THANKS!!!!!!

Possibly. It sounds like a bad O2 sensor.

Default Bliggity. If your replying to my V-power post, put your reply below my V-power

post. If you take some logs with your VAG and post them , we can see if you are pinging or not.

I think you should start with replacing the O2 sensor per VelcocityS4 suggestion above.
