So a week ago after getting my first flat tire the front passenger (damn constrution around my place and city) i had the check engine light come on and after i got my tire fixed and had my shop scan the code and it turned up to be 1163. Which is lean fuel. I had it cleared and drove off and within a mile or so the ABS light came on and the Break light *beeped* 3 times and now just says on and the Break light flashes.

Then next day i had another flat tire. Back passenger, and just yesterday i got it fixed at a tire place. But for the last 2 days the ABS and break light will come on and then may go off, but its back on again and im wondering what i can do ? If i go to audi they are going to rape me in cost. Im wondering if anyone else has had this problem and could kind of steer me in the right direction on what to do ?

Another shop that i go too, says they can fix it but they keep extending when they can get me in even when i went to the shop today and there was one car in the shop and 3 people standing around but they said they were swamped and couldnt get me in. (i think they just dont like Audi's)

Any ideas would help

 

could be something as simple as a bad/dirty wheel speed sensor. Have it scanned, hopefully its not the abs control unit. Find a euro shop, most regular shops stay away from audis.

 

I had it scanned by the shop that fixed it the last time and they dont have the program to read the ABS ect... They can only do the check engine light (which isnt on anymore) and has come up as code # 1163 which i fixed today.

And we dont have any euro shops here in madison.

 

Well if it is a faulty abs control unit (which is quite common for earlier b5's), thats going to cost ~ $1000 from the dealer. You can also get it sent away and rebuilt for much less, which many people do.
