    Just a hunch, but I would be wary of your mechanic. You've posted some questionable estimates and advice in the past from the same person I believe. They might know Audi's, but from what I've heard I wouldn't want them wrenching on the RS6. Again, just an interpretation, and I'm no mechanic, but seems a bit off to me...

    yea I know what you mean, that's why I posted up here before I take the leap. If it's just a simple thermo then I may question taking it to him for problem, maybe just mods.

    Agreed. Have you been able to VCDS scan it yet? Would help a ton...

    VCDS Lite (free) will help a ton. Also, you can get a code scanner online for less than $50. I've got one of those in each of my cars. Keeps the wife and kid from panicking.

    I don't have a cable either, forgot to invest in one when I got the car. I do need to do that ASAP.

    I used this to troubleshoot my bad MAF. It isn't great, but it isn't $350 either.

    Did it work good? Or can you tell it's a knock off? I'm going to get a real one soon, but if this works and can hold me over for a little I'll take it for now just to solve this issue.

    i don't expect very much for 10 bucks, but if it will help it will be a good 10 bucks spent.

    You could also look at the wireless Bluetooth obd2 readers, cheap ones seem to work fine for basic codes, plus you get some extra features.
