The CEL came on today and with my code reader came up with p115c. The car has been running great. No issues with idling or acceleration. I have been scouring the internet (and this forum as well) and have found all kinds of possibilities but no definitive answer. Interestingly, this CEL came on last month for 2 days and then went away on its own. Afterward, I did some reading and then suspected a dirty MAF. (I was running a K&N filter). I have changed to a stock filter and cleaned the MAF with MAF cleaner (it did seem dirty). I thought it was all resolved until today. I have read that it may be from a valve cover gasket leak or issues with a high pressure air leak around the turbo. This is way over my head but I thought I would run it by you guys to see if anyone has had this before. I may just have to take it to the dealership but I have heard that others have done that and have still had no luck with finding the solution. Thanks for any information.

I have not looked through it yet but maybe there is some useful information for you there.

Did you clear it? did it come back?
Everything I've read points to the PCV system in the valve cover, which means a new valve cover and gaskets.
If you buy one, be sure you use the correct tightening sequence, and they only tighten to 7 or 8 ft,lbs, so hand tighten only.
