Has anyone heard of this problem? I have a 1997 A4 2.8 quattro with 74,000 miles, For about the past year, the check engine light comes on, I take it to the repair shop, they check it and tell me that they can't find anything wrong with it. They will turn the light off for me. The light continues to come on about every month or so, and I take it in again. The engine runs just fine; no symptoms of anything wrong. Finally, I asked the repair shop if they could investigate it a little more fully, and they said that they thought that it might be that the thermostat was indicating that the engine was not getting to its optimum heating temperature-it may be running too cool. They indicated tht if I was going to keep the car, I should change the timing belt at the same time that I check out the thermostat, as getting to the thermostat involves a lot of labor. M;y question is: Should I sell the car or invest in the repairs? I haven't had anything major happen to the car-just recalls and typical maintenance.
Thanks
Susan
