Why don't you go to Advance Auto or whichever one codes out cars for free and see what the MIL code is, instead of guessing? Or if cars are going to be your hobby, invest in a code reader.

Once you know what the code is, you're on the road to fixing it, rather than having people guess what could be wrong. Get the code and go to your Audi forum and talk to them about it.
Here's a cheap reader: Launch Pocket Tech Pro
Or a better one if you want to be able to update the reader later: OTC 3109N Trilingual OBD II/EOBD & CAN Scan Tool

Agree...get that code read and THEN proceed. Don't just start throwing money at it before you have (at the very least) a starting point.

I know one of them does, I don't know because I've had a code reader since they went OBD I and you couldn't just stick a wire across the right terminals of the ALDC (let's see who knows that acronym!)

It depends on the mood of the employee at the time.
I've had codes read at both establishments, and requests denied at both establishments.

I bought a cheapo code reader about 6 years ago. Its $48. I can't tell you how many times I've used that thing for my car. Bad part about it is, your friends will always be calling you when THEIR MIL light is on.
There may be proprietary codes a cheapo code reader can't read - so I've been told. However, I've never ran into this. Its usually the easy stuff, Just a bad sensor.

Yes, they suggested I get codes, well I dont really need codes now as my back seat was covered in a puddle of water which has a transmission computer and sensor. It got really soaked, I currently dont know if it will dry , but if it does not it could be 1200
