Every once and awhile, my readout for the outdoor temperature displays E. It also sometimes shows negative temperatures during the summer time. Whenever the display is in an E state, the AC will not operate. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Thx!

 

No, but the sencer is right in front of the condensor right behind the bumper. you may want to look and make sure its ok or maybe replace it. I dunno.

 

i'd replace the sensor first. it's only a few bucks and a very easy swap.

 

You know, we stoped welcoming the newbs when the post the first few times, I remember imola doing it all the time and jest to. anyway welcome and don't **** anything up. j/k

 

Just getting back to this. I'll look at swapping the sensor out. Also, based on some of the other posts I pulled/cleaned my throttle body this last weekend and my oscillating idle has cleared up. Glad for that..

 

Ahh that's good. What year is your a4??

flyboy, I've been absent for awhile now. So I'll start welcoming the N00b's once again. Welcolme rabenson.

 

Thanks for the welcome. I've got a '99 A4 I purchased brand new. It's been a decent car with a few minor hiccups here and there, but I can't complain. My wife has actually been driving it for the last few years while I drove an old volvo 240. However, now she's got a new minivan so I get MY car back!!! Unfortunately after a few years of neglect I need to spend some time cleaning/fixing the minor issues. This site has been very helpful so far.

One other question. Has anyone heard about a common failure with the Bosch ABS computer. My light has been flashing for a year or so now. I took it to the dealer and they said they could not even communicate with the ABS computer. I've been told that it is a few MOSFETs inside that go bad and there are a few people on EBAY that can repair them. Does anyone have any more information on this, or gone through this?
