How to diagnose and fix my Audi 80's check engine light?

I recently noticed that the check engine light on my Audi 80 has turned on. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi Maria, there are a few reasons why the check engine light on your Audi 80 could be on. It could be something as simple as a loose gas cap or something more serious like a faulty oxygen sensor. The best course of action is to get a diagnostic scan to determine the exact issue. From there, a mechanic can give you specific advice on how to fix it.

Hi Maria, a check engine light could also indicate an issue with your emissions system. Make sure to check your exhaust for any leaks or strange smells. It's also a good idea to get your emissions tested to see if there are any problems. A certified mechanic can help you figure out the root cause and give you personalized advice on how to fix it.

Hi Maria, another common reason for a check engine light is a problem with your spark plugs or ignition coils. These are relatively easy and inexpensive to replace. If you have been experiencing any odd engine noises or trouble starting your car, it's more likely to be related to this. Again, a diagnostic scan can help pinpoint the issue and a mechanic can guide you on what to do next.
