I pulled codes, found codes saying the A/F mixture was too lean, and that both O2 sensors are bad, I reset the codes, cleaned the MAF, and went for a little drive. Got back, pulled codes again, now it just has the codes for "no signal" for both O2 sensors. Thinking about replacing the front one this weekend. The rear sensor does nothing but trip a code when the Cat is bad, but I have a test pipe so screw it, it's not causing a CEL.
I talked to a shop and they said to check the coolant temp sensor on the back of the head, he said if it's messed up it can occasionally show weird code for things like the O2 sensors. I want to look into that some more because the previous owner wired a A/F gauge into the front sensor and the gauge is showing signal, which is weird.

I just spent the last 7 hours and 14 minutes driving the 18 miles of highway between the customer site and my apartment. I'll take a minute to let you read that again....
That said, I couldn't be more pleased with how my car performed. The Quattro was abso-*******-lutely perfect, no overheating, no problems. I was passing 4WD's as fast as they were sliding off the road. I can't even begin to count the number of cars I saw stuck and abandoned on the side of the road. All makes and models, except one. I **** you not, I didn't see even one single Audi stuck anyplace.
QUATTRO >>>>>>>> EVERYTHING ELSE
EDIT: Forgot to mention the WHY behind all this. We got like 7" of snow over the course of that 7 hours, and people around here can't drive in it!
