Go to autozone and get a code.. If you have a vag-com, even better. A CEL can come on for many things, including a bad oil sensor

^^ Agreed.

Funny, but my wife's B6 has had the CEL on for about 3 months intermittently, so I haven't taken the time to actually try to figure out what the problem is. The car seems to run just fine, though, so all I've done so far is capture the codes using VCDS and store them in a log file.

VCDS from Ross-Tech is a really smart investment if you own an Audi.

probably a cat code. Thats normally the problem if u car runs fine but that stupid light is on. Mostly caused by using cheap gas and burning the 02 sensor upp.

shell gas is one of the best in terms of quality and detergents. get the scan done. i'm sure a bad oil level sensor would also trip the CEL but how often and why would those crap out?

I have g62 sensor CEL code, and my car runs good, although i need to get myself to fix that problem...

Not to hijack someones thread, but anyone had ever replaced g62 sensor ? how long does it take ?
