Default 1997 Audi A4 2.8Q, Check Engine Light On, Assistance?

My Check Engine Light came on yesterday. The light is not blinking, it just stays on. Wondering what could be the causes. Please list most common to least common. I have already spent over 6k in maintenance and have owned the car for only two years. What a pain the *** this car has been for me, especially financially. Any-who, I need some assistance with this and need an idea of how much space this will leave in my wallet. Thanks for your help.

Default you need to find someone in your area that can read the error code for you

Using a VAG tool.

Try posting it in mid-atlantic forum and see if anyone in your area can help you out.

Default no way to tell without the code...

a solid light is not serious so drive it for awhile to see if it goes away (3days). get the code checked if it doesn't go away by then.
