Check Engine Light on, if oil change needed?
Curious if a 2001 audi a4 2.8 turns on the check engine light if a oil change is needed? Should I be worried that its on?
Thanks

When the service is due, it'll show a message on the center computer screen, but...
it doesn't make the check engine light come on.
There could be many reasons why that light came on. Best would be to find someone with a VAG COM tool and read the error codes that are stored in the ECU.

Re: Um... he should still check it out and see what the DTC is.
could it be on becauase my car has been complaining that my headlight is burnt out for a couple days?
Any idea where I can buy a scanner for my car?

Headlight out won't cause the Check Engine Light to come on...
You can buy the VAG-COM diagnostic software/cable from <a href="http://www.ross-tech.com">Ross-Tech</a>.
In the meantime, use the VAG Locator to find someone in your area who already has the tool and can help you out.
