Default Check Engine Light

1999 Audi A4 Quattro V6
I have one of two problems.

1. My check engine light is solid. And if i accelerate fast or put my toe into it my car starts to sputter. Im wondering if this is so because of the headgasket?

2. My Brake light is also flashing. I recently changed my rotars thinking this was the problem, but problem is still there. I am going to take it into the shop as soon as I get back to the states, but im in Iraq right now for 3 more months contemplating this delema.

Thank you for anyone who reads this

seeing as in how you're in iraq.. if the car is registered and all then have someone take it to Advance Auto or something like it in your area, they'll be able to hook up an obd tool and check what codes its giving and you can take it from there.


its free btw.

1) As said, the first step is to have it scanned for codes.

2) Your brake fluid is probably low, check the reservoir.

Are you on an all expenses paid, gov't sponsored, trip? Free food? If so, thanks for your commitment .

Yeah, get those codes read so we can help you out. By the way, what model cars do you see over there, Beat Up Benz and Toyotas, mostly?
