Engine light came on yesterday night (GIAC)... need advice!
Got the car 2 months ago with 50k and I was showing my friend the acceleration. Then without feeling anything anormal, the engine light came on and it's still there this morning.
So should I swap back to my stock ecu NOW and try to reproduce the problem, or should I wait until Monday and go to a garage friend of mine to get my GIAC ecu diagnosed?

WTF... There is NO information here that says there is ANYTHING wrong with the programming... The
cars needs to be looked at by someone who is qualified to diagnose a complex car like a modern Audi before fingers are pointed.

Yup....
The one time my CE light came on was due to a bad engine coolant temp sensor (fixed under warranty)...very minor.
Point is, the CE light can come on for any number of reasons, major or minor.
