[V8] Check engine light, OXS light, and "brake" light

[Carter Johnson]

I got 19.1 in when I ran it out of gas.  19.1 out of 21 ain't bad, as Meatloaf would say.  

Far cry from the 800 miles Clarkson got out of the A8 TDi in England, though.

Kinda along the line of "How much fuel do you have left in your tank when
you hit the last red line?" question.  Dunno, guess you'd have to drain the
tank to find out, 'cause you'll have run out of useable fuel before you hit
that last line.  And when you do run out of gas, good luck trying to fill up
with more than 18.8 gallons (at least on the '93)...

engine gets too warm.  No joke.  As soon as some air flows through again, it
goes right off.  I may have partially solved the check engine light, as well
(and figure this one out...) but no nasty notes - I was 2 quarts down on oil
(for various reasons - it goes through quite a bit) - refilled and the light
went off, came back on a few times, but was mostly off on the ~50 mile ride
home.

driving the GT (which I haven't done in a long time....)

if the "brake" light comes on, you may need to replace all of the wiring
