[A6] check engine line

[joel nevin]

Dave,
A lot of 2.7t's have been having 2 issues.

Bad temp sensors which would trip the CEL
and a bad MAF(Mass Air Flow) sensor.

The MAF is covered under audi warranty until 70k, the
temp sensor isn't, but you have a 1 yr warranty.

I have the codes somewhere if you need them.
As I just had mine done.
