Default What to do? Need service advice... details within

A couple of weeks ago I had a check engine light and the engine seemed to be idling pretty rough so I put in a bottle of fuel additive. The check engine light went off and shortly there after I had my 30k service and everything seemed to be fine.

Now, a week later the check engine light is back on. It so happens that I'm about to purchase an aftermarket warranty (probably from www.accelwarranty.com). I have an appointment at Audi of Alexandria for tomorrow, but I'm tempted cancel it and wait the 30 days for the warranty to kick in and in the mean time VAG and make sure nothing major is going on. The car seems to be running and driving fine. However, it doesn't seem to have quite as much power. (Boost leak?)
Thoughts?

Default probably a darn temp sensor... have the code read to make sure..

I have an appt tomorrw for the temp sensor. The CE light came on monday and went out yesterday. But code is still in the system.

I had it checked at Autozone since there are no Vaggers in Chattanooga.
