Service Light with Charge symbol

I've been reading a lot this evening on what could possibly be wrong with my car and I haven't been able to put my finger on the problem. I have read that it could be an emissions system problem, a failure in oil pressure, possibly a blown turbo, and a bunch of other things. When I turn the car on it shakes non-stop. I don't know a whole lot about A6 engines so I could really use some help. I'm guessing people will just tell me to make an appointment to get it VAG.

Thanks.

Beware I'm a total Noob.

Need more info.

Check engine light on? Flashing? Year and engine in car? Vibration at idle in and out of gear? Power loss?

Agreed....need some more information about the problem.

Any lights on in the console? Check engine light.....flashing check engine light?? If it flashes, you probably dont want to drive the car.

Re: Agreed....need some more information about the problem.

This past week the car vibrated a little bit while I was idleing but i blew it off because no lights came on in the dash. I drove it yesterday and let it sit for three hours. When I went to drive it again the Service Light came on with the charge/lightning bolt symbol through it. The light is solid it isn't flashing. Its the only light on and it still says "ok".The car is virbrating constantly.

The car is a 2003 A6 2.7T.

Please let me know if you need more info.

Sounds just like a coil pack, but I'd think the light would be flashing.

You're going to need someone with VAG-COM to pull the codes...or at least AutoZone or someone like that. VAG-COM would be best if someone near you has one.
