Check Engine Light

This just annoys me. As I said in my other entry, I had to leave my car overnight. So I picked it up this morning, new seals, new power seat memory, etc... Just went out for an errand, and the CEL is on. Pisses me off.. now I have to go down there again "at my convenience". Just what I need, to drive an hour and a half round-trip and sit there while they figure out what hose, or whatever, is loose. You'd think they would diagnose a car they just worked on the turbos for before it left the shop.

There is a VAG-COM for Audi (and VW). You can buy some software (only Windows, blah) and a connector so you can do your own diagnoses and change things in the computer. May be a good investment for those times the CEL comes on when I HAVEN'T just taken it to the dealer. PITA.
