    A search of Ye Google reveals that Audi DTC P1796 is "Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit Short to Ground". These sensors are usually down near the gearbox/half-shafts and failure of them cause all kinds of weirdness.

    Bear in mind that "P0..." codes are standard with OBD-II compliant systems, and "P1..." codes are manufacturer-specific extensions.
