V8Q: Questions

[Vikram Kumar <vikram@mindspring.com>]

Here a two minor problems I've noticed:
1) Every once in a while when I start the car all drive position letters on the dash light up (i.e.: P, R, D, 3, 2, 1). They don't go off leaving the correct letter lit. If I turn to ignition off and turn ot back on, it resets.

2)When I start the car, the display shows that the gear is in Reverse, even though it is in Park. If I move the shifter to Reverse and back to Park and then turn the ignition on, everything's OK. This has happened twice so far. 

3)SuperChips, Inc (www.superchips.com) makes upgrade chips for several models in the Audi line. They make two different chips for the V8 based on the computer' s serial number. Has anyone added a SuperChip to their V8Q ? Are they reliable ? The company is based in Longwood, Florida.

4)Due to the uneven surging that seems to plague the V8's I've decided to replace the O2 sensor. Does anyone have a good description of how it should be replaced ?

Thanks,
