Re: Error 2142 from ECU...



Hi!

The conditions of 0.7 or more bar pressure and around 3k RPM is
exactly when the error occurs. Anyway, with the max retard happening
and pussy footing it around (ie. all high and town driving and pull
away and every form of driving having me running the car below 3k RPM),
I have to admit that it is the whitest burnt exhaust I've ever seen
on my car! Previously I had dark grey and sometime black deposits
(after slow town cruising), but only a few occassions of high speed
cruising and chasing had the tail pipe "white lined". Now it seems
always "white lined".

Car goes in on Tuesday to have all faults checked, so let's hope that
Audi Centre know a little about the car unlike all the other agents
and mechs I have dealt with. I mean, you guys know I know squat about
these cars, but imagine a mechanic or agent having to be informed
about these cars by me of all people! And they claim to be VW, Audi
and Porsche (!!!) specialists!!! :) Scaaaaarryyy!!!
