    I have plenty of buds in MA (I'm from there actually) with aftermarket tunes and they pass emissions up there.

    The SAI system and EGTs will commonly throw the CEL...those were my gremlins on my RS6 with about the same miles as yours. Your 02 sensors good? You don't need to drive 2-300 miles though after clearing codes...just until the readiness codes go green which is like 20-50 miles in many cases. You need the VCDS if you own an Audi, and you already know that !

    Anywho, just talking out loud here. I'm sure you will get it thru Tanner.

    My son always plays in the Needham Soccer Tourney every summer...let's hook up next year if you are still there....you can take the Black Series for a rip and contemplate jumping ship to a much simpler car that is all motor with the same HP.

    Jim - Sounds like a plan! I am getting my son into soccer this year so that could work. Regardless, I can always be interested anything black series ( I assume it is clk63 but I might be wrong..)

    Do you (or your friends) know of a great mechanic in the framingham-newton area (or beyond) area that I can rely on and does not charge too much?

    Thank you much!
