oh and by the way, so i get my new brake pads in the mail today minetx reds

and i go out to change them tonight in the blistering cold, i do have a garage and a heater, so not too bad, and i start to loosen the lugs and they won't break loose, so i guess i will get them broke loose at wally world or somewhere tomorrow and try again tomorrow night

 

i was thinking it might be the thrust sensor but its not throwing any codes. and the thrust sensor plugs into the smic right?

 

and if i was going to get a new n75 i would get the "race" one...but alas it costs like $80 USD and then shipping and duty. I ended up getting a turbo xs mbc instead.

 

bah damn double post....

 

see, i wasn't throwing a code telling me it was my thrust, and the way he talked you won't

i threw a code cause my maf was going bad too

it was just both going bad at once

he put in a new thrust and the maf worked better

 

hmm thanks kraut i'll try that out.

 

I posted this in the MIL thread as well, but I've been doing a little research and it's possible the MAF could be the problem???

I am having some problems and wondering if someone has some advice for me. MIL light is on and I had the codes read, here's what I got~
P1136 Long Term Fuel Trim Add. Fuel, Bank 1 System too lean
P441 EVAP Emission control system, Incorect Purge Flow

This is for my 1998 A4 Quattro. Since these cars are expensive to fix I want to troubleshoot the problem and see what I can do before going to the mechanic, being female and also having no knowledge about cars, I sometimes feel as though I am being taken for a ride!

 

got these off another board
Well, then if it's P1136, then you're actually too lean

and that means you're losing air in the intake tract. boost leak

somewhere? clogged injectors? possible bad fpr. this is where a

vag-com comes in handy.

and it looks like your other code is a generic code, maybe someone with vag around you can help
