Default The EPC warning symbol came on today while driving..

I was driving up to Chappaqua and noticed it on. I went another 3 miles until I could find a spot to pull over. I turned the engine off, and 15 seconds later turned it on again, and the warning light was no longer there.

I didn't have the manual in my car at the time, it was at home.

Just read what it says about that warning light, it says if the light is on while driving "then there is a malfunction in the engine electronics. Have the malfunction corrected as soon as possible by your authorized Audi dealer or qualified workshop."

So if the light is gone, do I still need to take her in?

Anyone else have this happen so far?

Default if you take it to dealer, or hook up with someone who has VAG-COM...

...you can read the logs to see what it thought was going on. probably very inconsequential, like MAF acting up.

Default it's software you use on a PC laptop, connected to OBD-II port under your dash....

Default Don't worry Chappaqua is like the automotive Bermuda Triangle

it is probably Bill and Hillarys cosmic aura affecting the electrics of your car
