yellow check engine light permanently on
I got a 2001 1.8T manualA6. Since yesterday yellow engine sign on the dashboard stays on permanently with engine running, normally would go off once engine has started running. Engine is starting andrunning as usual, I haven't noticed any new symptoms. I have changed spark plugs to Bocsh ones about a month ago and noticed slightly more engine vibration at idle.
Going to Audi dealler would be a complete rip off. My experience of Audi/VW dealership in the UK so far was really disastrous. Its a very nice car with a verypoor qualityservice at the dealer unfortunately (speaking of UK East London dealers).
If someone got any idea as to why the light stays on, please advise. I would be really greatful. Many thanks in advance.

RE: yellow check engine light permanently on
might just be emissions issue. try opening the gas cap and tightening it again until it clicks. If you filled up in the last day or so, and put it on wrong, this can set it off I believe.

If I knew off the top of my head I'd tell you directly, but I don't. However I've read about it a bunch of times on here in the past. Use the Search feature and type in that code number, and I'm sure you'll get a bunch of different posts about it.

RE: yellow check engine light permanently on
many thanks for all the advice
Checked all the pipes. A hose from the air filter housing to the pump had a little kink at the point of connection to the filter housing, but it was not fully blocking the air passage and must have been there for at least 6 month (the last time i changed the air filter).
Also checked air pump relay, fuses, seemed to be working.
When started the engine from cold the combination valve made hissing noise for about 30 sec, so I assumed the pump was working and didn't test it (have to go under the car to access it [>:])
Cleared the fault, test drove it, no yellow light so far... Will see whats gonna happen after few more cold starts.
Cheers!
