Default My baby is sick

She got her first CEL last night and it hasn't gone away after several restarts. Called the dealer this morning and they can't get herin until next Monday (I need a loaner). Luckily it is a solid CEL instead of flashing. I don't have access to a VAGCOM to check the fault codes either.

Mine throws one every couple of months - it's always been nothing. Most common ones are intake manifold flap + associated sensors and values; latest reflash (2/08)cures a lot of this, but I haven't got it yet.
I wouldn't be overly worried unless something looks or feels wrong.
BTW, are you wanting to S Line your car? I have this full suspension taking up space in the garage. I'll eventually put it in the classifieds, but it's free to Okie compadres.

I dropped it off at the dealer this morning so I should know what caused it later today. My last oil change was ~2,500 miles ago.

Just got a call from the dealer. Service advisor said that they had to order an Auxillary Flap Motor for the vac lines (or something to that effect). Said it would be fine to drive until that part comes in.
