Default Check Engine Light is ON

Should this be a concern? What are the probable causes, should this go to a dealer or should I buy a vag.

I am fairly new with european cars and now that one of my audi's has this light it is out of manufacturer's warranty. I am more familiar with japanese cars but now own 2 audi's and never had to service them myself yet. can anyone help?

Find someone nearby with a Vag-Com. Check the Vag Locator in my signature.

If you have 2 I would consider a vag com. I def have it looked at. it can be a million things once you have code you can work from there.
I've gotten CEL from a misifre to a cracked rubber vaccum line.
