P0026 & 28 Codes were pulled. Both front and rear bank solenoids were shot. Subaru is dropping both replacements off at Mechanic's today. Mechanic pulled one out and sprayed contact cleaner in and around one of them to see if the cleaning of the contacts would correct the issue. It didn't!

Well, I've bitten off any nails left on my hands. My mechanic replaced two solenoids, P0026 cleared but 28 hadn't thus the engine is still not running good. Looks like there are a total of five of these solenoids integrated around. Tomorrow's another day in paradise! Meanwhile, my wife's strutting her stuff around and for work in my B7 TDI. She's not complaining one bit. I'm yelling foul!

Finally fixed! After replacing the two solenoids and having the 28 code remain my mechanic and I discussed what was left to try. He suggested a can of engine cleaner in the oil; change the oil/filter and see what happens. Voila', it worked! All codes were cleared as well as all dash lights. The oil change with engine cleaner use worked.
