Its still under warranty, take it to the dealership and have them check it out, you should not have to pay anything for it because of the warranty, if your car has a recall, they will tell you when you bring it in and do it for free.

The manual is correct. As with all these "engine warning light is on" type questions, all you can do is take it to a garage with the proper diagnostic gear and get the fault codes scanned. That'll tell them what the problem is. And just because it seems to be OK doesn't mean you should ignore it, what can start as a small £100 fix could end up costing a fortune to fix if it's not done soon.

Most likely the gas cap wasn't tightened properly at one time (I'm not kidding) this will cause the check engine light to come on. On most cars all you have to do to fix it is unhook the positive cable of your battery then hook it back up. However I'm not sure if it will work on an Audi. It's an easy and quick fix at a mechanic shop or an Audi dealer to do by plugging in to your cars computer.

You can check if it has a recall by going to this website http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/recallsearch.cfm and also, sometimes the engine light comes on because the gas cap isn't insterted correctly. Try that first and if it dosent work, I would take it to the Audi Dealer because its a new car and it shouldn't be doing that.

Engine light can come from anything. All your senors will trigger it if they give off a wrong reading. your fuel cap if loose can do it to. Mine has been on for three yrs in my truck but i am a mechanic and know what the code is and its nothing to worry about. So take it somewhere to get it scanned and they will tell you the code and what it needs. If its still under warrenty then that light should be covered.

It's a 2007 still under warranty. Take it back to the dealer and let them figure it out. I wouldn't even worry about it.
Until the warranty is up, it's their problem, not yours. But do take it in and get the codes read. We woudln't be able to help you without them anyway.

Maybe that light is a service the engine light. Take it back to dealer. Worrying won't fix it.

Take it back to the Delaer to get it checked ASAP. If you keep driving it with the problem it might casue A bigger problem which is beyond fixing.

Sometimes those lights go off on a schedule to remind you of scheduled maintenance and might not even signify any problems, especially if it turned on right at 10k

man its still under warrantly i would recommend taking it back to the dealership, and let them worry about it. do this ASAP because if you keep driving it then the problem will deteriorate and it will be beyond a little problem.
