Audi A4 OBD code P-1298?

Hello!
Recently purchased a used 2003 Audi A4 with the 3.0 litre V-6 and 6 speed manual transmission with 64000 +or- miles on the clock.
Have changed the nastiest air filter I've seen in a long time. Shortly afterwards the MIL light came on. The local garage pulled a P-1298 trouble code off the OBD II unit, but can't get the information from Audi.
Can anyone out there help me with this? Dealer is a D K HEAD and won't give any info. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Dean

sorry I can find the description in my book, I got a 1297 and a 1299,but no 1298! I don't work on may Audi's but is it possible that you disconnectted a sensor for the IAt or vaccum line from the air box when you were changing the filter, both of the codes I have are for fuel control so I'm guessing the 1298 would be similar

Took the car back to the local shop, it seems that the first tech misread the code reader! New Tech pulled a 1208 (I think), it told him "Gas Cap"! Replaced cap, reset light, and all is well with the Audi. thanks for the help, even though it was a wild goose chase!
