My wife's 2011 A6 5.0 has been suffering from the "Wrench Light" on the tachometer illuminating from time to time. The owner's manual says that it is a limp mode, related to the TPS, and to take it to the dealer for service. Usually, a quick off/on with the key will cure the problem (whatever it is) and the wrench light goes away. However, today it threw a CEL along with the wrench light. So as with every time before, a quick off/on of the key made the wrench light go away; but the CEL remained. Using the Aeroforce gauge, I attempted to read the DTC's but the gauge said there were none :??:
I have searched for the last 4hrs and have found nothing to help me with this wrench light anomaly. It appears there are many Ponies (of varying years) suffering from this wrench light fault, but no one has been able to pinpoint its exact cause or how to remedy this fault.
Are any of you guys experiencing this fault, and if so - what can I do to correct this problem?
