Default if it's not blinking, you're "okay"

bring it to the dealer ASAP though. Hope you're under warranty.

Default It's really hard to tell without hooking your car up to a vag-com

Or the dealer reads your codes.. To see why it's on..

Default wait a day or two (worth of starts) .. might go away...

Misfires (bad gas) or Loose gas cap codes will generally go away after the problem is corrected.
