Nope, this means replace the sensors.  BTDT, a coupla weeks ago.  It's two hours in any shop; make sure they get your belly pan back on straight.  They put mine back on (not an Audi shop, mind you), and then I was driving along I-40 at 80 mph and heard/felt a whoosh of wind underneath the car.  Well, since I wasn't fishtailing all over the road, I knew my new 17's hadn't blown out, so I pulled over.  Tires fine; underneath the car, I'm dragging my belly pan.  Crap!  So, I pull off at the next exit and into a McDonald's parking lot.  I get out and start removing the belly pan, in the snow.  That turns into a blizzard.  Did I mention that I couldn't feel my hands?  So, I'm down to the last bolt, which turns out to be a zip tie.  The whole time I'm trying to cut it, I'm praying I cut it and not my hand.  Anyway, the shop has promised to get me another one (dad said the spark show from behind was cool.)  I've been so busy lately that I haven't gotten back there; I have to do that today.
