ok ive been hitting limp mode, etc... i know i have a boost leak, so i gotta find that

i cleared my codes and went driving again to see if they had been around for a while (2 of 3 of them were) so i got this one again

17965 - Charge Pressure Control: Positive Deviation
P1557 - 35-00 - -
Readiness: 0000 0000

which means i have a boost leak somewhere ... and then i got this one:

01039 - Coolant Temperature Sensor (G2)
30-10 - Open or Short to Plus - Intermittent

cant find much info about this one... but is it the same sensor as in this post?

i'm asking b/c if it is, i can go get the part and take care of it rather quickly

 

not the same sensor P1557 = turbocharger pressure - control exceeded problem is hoses connection interchanged/not connected,
the other speaks for its self ( coolant temp sensor ) short to positive wiring or sensor

 

so this isn't the write up to replacing the coolant sensor? http://www.audiworld.com/tech/eng66.shtml (i know its a b6 but still)

 

yep thats the coolant temp sensor
