Why are you driving that car with all those mods, if you don't even know what to do when your CEL comes on?

disconnect your battery cable for a few minutes and then reconnect it, then see if the light comes back on, if it does, go have it scanned

i know how annoying those CEL's can be, and since you own an audi (especially a modded one) you'll be seeing plenty of that light

that wouldn't make the CEL come on in a B6. the B6's have a separate warning light specifically for the gas cap.

but yeah, it could be one of a million things. have it vag'd.
