Default Driving fast or through deep water? Perhaps a sensor is getting wet.

My first guess might be the O2 sensors. Check and make sure they are screwed in tightly.

The CEL has been going on and off in my '91 100 since I bought it. No problem ever found and it still runs fine. Audi's motto should be "Electronics Ain't Us".
