Default Check Engine Light

Took the car to the dealer for the squeaky suspension, and got it the next day (no fixes for that other than the TSB Audi put out about it). Twenty minutes into my drive to work after picking it up, I get the warning message to "reduce the oil level in the car". I call the dealer and stopped by after work and he said all taken care of, we took out a little bit of oil....slightly overfilled....
The car has been parked since Friday and took it out today to be greeted with the orange check engine light....
Any clue as to what to expect from this? I called the dealer and he said as long as it is not flashing, it is perfectly fine to drive it, and have an appointment to take it back next Wednesday.
Any pointers, hints, fixes or well known issues regarding this would be much appreciated.

Sorry that I can't be of any assistance. Never had a check engine warning light in the more than 3 and a half years that I had my 2011 A8. Hopefully it's just a minor issue that the dealer can resolve in short order.

That is good to hear and learn derfA8L. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving.

Haven't had one either...

If you have VCDS you can see what DTCs are causing it.
