Default problem with my a4

I posted this befor that I have a check engion light on and esp light.
Now the dealer is telling me that my car is not comunicating with there scaner due to aftermarket parts in the car.
The thing is I bought a cheap $150 scaner from auto zone and it pulled the coad I posted last time
P0102 and stated the problem to be MAF or VAF circut low input.
is low circut in put somthing outher than the mass air?
and I am not geting a coad to why the ESP light is on.
Eney help would be great because it looks as though the dealer is not going to help me.

You should have consulted with the forum before you bought the generic obd scanner. Should have spent the money on a Ross-tech one. What aftermarket parts are you talking about???

all I have that they can see is coil over suspention, turbo timer, boost gauge,a system, and satelite.
They said that the satelite is wired wrong, and that is bs it only needs a power and ground to work.
I think that they are giving me a run around.
I know in my owners manul it states that eney modification to suspention voids warranty.
they did not say eney thing about suspention but know that may be a problem.

Well they can't void the entire warranty due to your suspension. It does sound like BS. I'm not sure if the generic obd tools can read Audi specific codes. Most of the codes that those are able to read deal with engine/emmissions related troubles.

My guess is to replace the MAF sensor. Doesn't a solid ESP light mean the esp is turned off?

yah it means the ESP is off but It came on when check engion light turnd on and the ESP light will not shut off when I push the ESP button.
Also how much does that ross-tech cost ?and where can I get one? I guess I will return the one from auto zone I just hear alot of you talking about going to auto zone and using there scaners.

Ross-tech.com. They have basic scanners and software for ~$199 bucks I believe. Yeah Autozone will scan for free.

have the dealer write up what they think is wrong with the car. make them print it out. then take it to another mechanic and let him look over the sheet. many times there are things on the sheet that dont mean anything

yes you can scan audis with generic scanners but they only give generic codes there are alot of audi specific codes that the generics dont pick up.
