Default Check engine light came on.... need some quick diagnostics

Well it is about 31 degrees here tonight.
I drove the car out of the parking lot and the check engine light came up. I was not going over 3500 rpms until the oil temp went up.

Now, has anyone experienced this?
Can a Vag tool help diagnose this problem?
Some one please help, I don't want to go to the dealership yet. I'm in central NJ

Default Did you recently get gas? Check you gas cap.

If it's loose I believe it can throw a CEL. Shoot me a mail or give me a ring if you need more help.
