What should I do if my Audi's check engine light turns on?

My check engine light recently turned on in my Audi and I'm not sure what to do. What could be causing this and how should I handle it?

Don't panic! The check engine light can turn on for many reasons, some minor and some more serious. It's important to get your Audi checked by a mechanic as soon as possible to determine the cause.

Sometimes the check engine light can turn on due to a loose gas cap. Check that the cap is securely fastened and see if the light turns off. If it doesn't, then it's best to have a professional take a look.

If the check engine light is flashing, this indicates a more serious issue and you should not continue driving your Audi. Pull over and have it towed to a mechanic for immediate inspection.
