You'll get a CEL eventually, but it's nothing to freak out over. Do you have emissions inspections where you live?

How Do you unplug the SAIP? Is it easy for a Beginner Mechanic to figure out? I can work on anything besides my own D*** Audi. :-P

Thanks!

Find it (I don't know where it is on a 6 cyl), it is electrically powered, figure out how to unplug these special German plugs, separate the plug. Proceed to drive awaiting an orange Check Engine Light. Read codes with VCDS lite to determine if your CEL is caused by the SAI disablement.

Search under my name as I've written this up before, how to check from the ECU box to the pancake valve to fix this problem.
