Go to an autozone or a guy with a scan tool and post the codes on here. No one can provide much help without the codes..

Popped mine on the ride home (vaccuum leak)[:@]. Apparently she couldn't wait. It was just a quicky-fix, and didn't cost a dime. The p/o needed to smog it before we could get the registration, so in order for it to pass smog, they had to fix the CEL.

Thnx All for the advise.

I brought my A4 to futrellautowerks in Hillsboro, OR. for a FREE quick test, other places wanted to charge me from $40 to $90 for comp test.....*forgot what companies*

According to Bentley (17511) O2 Sensor Heating Circ.,Bank1-Sensor1 Output too Low.

I just thought about it, my Check Engine Light turned on one morning when I switched on my climate and chair heater......and intermittently there after.....

Person at futrellautowerks told be that sensor would cost about $150 to $200

Where should I start?

You know whats crazy i got that same code the day i bought it and it turned out the dealer filled it up with 85 octane when i bought it. so it took about two weeks of 91 to remedy the problem, now no more CEL. hope this helps a little.

If you have the ATW engine, ECStuning sells a VW oxygen sensor that works fine for 22 dollars. Best deal around.
