Default Malfunction Indicator Lamp On

The MIL has come on in my 2007 A3 2L. It has about 40K miles. Any idea what the cause might be and is there something I can do before I take it in for an expensive visit to the dealership?

Default try..

try clicking the fuel cover for 3+ clicks clockwise(closed). bet it goes away after a day or three. happens to me every few months, dealer recommended this and has worked every time.

a code reader would help you diagnose error messages.
