Default Check engine light on this morning.

So I'm making my way out of my neighborhood this morning when my check engine light pops on. Car seems to run fine.

Stop by the dealer I bought it at on sunday on the way in and they say they'll hafta send it to a real audi dealership this time. I bought the car sunday, and the check engine light came on at that time too, they took it to what I thought was an authorized audi service place which is the local bmw/merc dealership, they cleared the check engine light saying the MAF sensor was loose.

Well today I ask them to take it back up and they tell me that that dealership can't read the codes, doesn't have the right equipment, so they hafta send it to the closest true audi dealership in orlando or jacksonville(I live in daytona) they'll make the appointment and send it up monday for me and give me a rental and all.

Can Autozone pull the code for me so I can at least see what's going on? Like I said, the car seems to be running fine, any common check engine light symptons I should look at?

Autozone can usually read the code, they just won't clear them

awesome thanks. Looks like there is a guy in daytona. I think I will pick up a cable though, I see some on ebay, been reading past threads about them and most of them seem to do the job, we'll see though. Thanks for the help.

Auto zone can run the OBDII codes, but it may be something else. Where R U?
