My car is 2000 Audi A4-1.8T. Since got the awful snow last night, the engine malfunction check light was on when I started it. But it ‘s still driving normal (I drove for about 200miles today). Can I clear the “check ’ signal and see if they come back? How can I clear it?
many many thanks!

 

do you live next to an auto parts store? if so they usually rent out scanner tools so that you can clear the code yourself.

 

Thanksvery much. We do haveseveral Autozone stores. Just don'tknow if our those inour small town (Champaign, IL)have scanner tools or not. Will try today.
Thanks again.

 

I got the fault codes:
P0301: the PCM has determined that a misfire has occurred in cylinder #1;
P0303: the PCM has determined that a misfire has occurred in cylinder #3;

Also, the Engine Check Light went off after the scanning. Does that mean I don’t need to do some repair right now?

Thanks a lot.

 

First off, post in the right forum. You probably saw "Engine/Performance Parts", but it's a sub forum of the Classifieds section. Go back to the forum index by clicking www.audiforums.com and go to either General Tech or Audi A4 forums for help. I will warn you though.. SEARCH before you ask questions. In cases where you get codes, just put the code (example: p0301) into the search and read. Because it's very likely someone else had the same problem. So search before you ask a question.

Second, never ignore a code. If it doesn't come back awesome, but I would definitely try to find out what caused it to save yourself a bigger headache in the future.
