07 A8L 4.2L


So this seems to be really random occurrences. Sometimes I can go a few days without any of them, sometimes I get one that comes and goes and other times I get them all on at the same time for days at a time.

Recently after I first start the car in the morning I have no warning lights, or sometimes just the EPC light and check engine. After a few minutes of driving 0-50mph. The ESP warning comes on and I lose cruise control. after another 10 minutes the ABS/ parking brake warning comes on and I have to finish my drive to work with the dreaded limp mode all the while staring at the Christmas display that is in my dashboard. I currently only have an OBD 2 scanner. The last time I scanned it a few weeks ago all it said was Accelerator pedal travel sensor and the intake runner sensors. I have these 3 parts on order coming either this weekend or sometime next week so I will update this post after I complete the repairs. I am starting this post to solicit any tips on issues I might run into before they happen.

I love the way this car handles and sounds when everything is working....but it is getting to be a headache to keep it that way.


Also, I have had some issue with the suspension as well but that is for another post. Short version is essentially I have replaced all 4 sensors as they had basically seized and wouldn't move. It sits a little off right now with the back being noticeably lower then the front but it isn't slammed just 10-20mm lower
