OK..Got it. Thanks all. BTW, maybe a dumb question, but should I take the car at this point for some work, or initial inspection to see if TB was replaced, etc.. to an audi dealer??

Default Check engine light

Well, i was feeling good about the car and all, but 5 hrs in, or 250 miles, I got my first check engine light. Luckily i had an appt sched w a local mechanic today. Hoping nothing serious, no other lights, but the coolant guage and oil temp guage still barely move from the low end...thoughts?? tks
