hey guys my engine light came on this morning. after the third or fourth start up, it went off. think i should take it in or wait for it to come back on?

If you are still under warranty, you should take her in. I think the fact that the light came up previously should be stored in the computer.

yea youre probably right. its just that they always give me a hard time when they can't duplicate the issue. ill call tomorrow morning. thanks for the advice

They should be able to see if the car is throwing any codes. I had a similar problem with my 06 A4, twice. First time they told me it was the seat belt tensioner, and that a briefcase must have pushed down on it (made no sense). Next time it stayed on for about 24 hours after I had just gotten fuel. They claimed it was another sensor related to the fuel cap. Basically I don't think it's serious. The guy told me the engine light would be flashing if it was a real serious problem.

cool..so if it starts flashing i should probably bail and run i guess..damn car

And not just Audi's..they all have quirks. I'd wait a week or so to see if it re accrues..if there's a problem it should repeat I would think.
