P0106 because of oil change? Hello,
I have a 2002 C5 A4 with a TR 224 cam.
Since I have this cam, the P0106 code appears from time to time.
After the cam swap, I got 15w40 oil and always had problems with the idle.
Then I filled the car with the 5w30 again and the code has been gone and the idle was good, too.
Now I got back to the 15w40 oil again, and I have the same problem.
Can this cause the new oil?
Thanks
Olli

hmmm From what I can tell, it has to do with your Manifold Air Pressure. Forsure the cam would affect this, now wether or not the oil could? I think it might just be co-indcidence. Either way tho, you dont need 15w40 in your car, unless youve converted it to a diesel. lol. Keep 5w30 in there, if you wanna be safe, make it 10w30. Either way use some synthetic oil and your motor will keep you happy.
