Check engine light
#1
![Default](https://www.audiworld.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
My check engine light came on tonight, seems to run fine though. After searching through the forums, I checked the gas cap, anything else seems to need a VAG tool.
Is there any way to find out what it might be without using a VAG tool? (I recall other manufacturers having a way to make the light blink a sequence that can be decoded to narrow down the problem.)
Anyone with a VAG in the Boston area (ie within rt. 128/93) willing to help diagnose this? Otherwise I'll try to make an appointment with a dealer.
Oh yeah, '98 A4 2.8 Tip.
Thanks,
Chris

I'm supposed to meet a member with a VAG to try to diagnose the light.
Meanwhile, the engine started making a grumbling/gurgling noise this morning. The oil was about 1.5 - 2 quarts low when the light first went on. Only 1,200 miles since last oil change and never noticed any leaks. I suppose the dealer could have not filled it all the way.
Any thoughts on the the noise?
Thanks,
Chris
