I have an 1997 Audi A-6 Quattro with app. 85,000 miles on it. A Ck-engine light on the dash recently came on. Any idea of what set this off and will I need to see a repair shop to attend to it?

Take your good old reliable Audi to your local large auto parts store (AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) for a free scan for error codes. Post back with the actual number(s). They will be in the format of P1234.
