OK it isn't the beans, but the news is saying that some of the gas in the Boston area makes the CEL light go on in Audi, WV, and Mercedes because it screws up the O2 sensor. One mechanic reported that he has seen the cat get so hot that it turns red and could cause a fire. Another said that he saw a car that would barely run. The universal fix is to drain the tank and put good gas in - that is if you haven't burnt it up or something worse.

 

why would boston gas be any different than any other gas going to a different part of the state or country??
remove cats- problem solved

LOL on the title tho!

 

The news claims it ishappening within a 50 mile radius of Boston so it must be the beans or someone is addinga special anti Audi chemical to the gas in Chelsea. It might be a Honda Nerd or Toyota freak!

 

Nothin wrong with the Toyotas, but you never know with those Honda people, it's the only way they stand a chance against our Audis...

I do concede when a Toyota Supra pulls up next to me though... Beautiful cars...

Poor boston, first the terrorist attacks with the lite-brights, now this...

 

I lol'ed[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

 

lol could cause a fire? bad gas will affect you AFR, and potentially create detonation/knock and blow your engine if tuned aggresivelly
