You have to know why its on it may be that when changing the engine the fault was presented.Take it to a garage that has a code reader if you come back online with the fault code I can be able to help more.Mick UK own and work on Audis.

Well, it depends what fault is causing the light to come on.If the because is emission related, eg. too rich a mixture, you could loose the catalyst in no time.But the fact that the CEL is on means definately something isn't correct. It can be cheaper to visit a shop for help than to wait too long.Goodluck.

well, I have been drving my audi A6 with the light on for about a month now with no change. I'm planning to fix the problem soon but. From what I heard from mechanics, in Audis, when that light comes on, it may be just a flawed sensor that is pretty cheap, not a big engine problem that could cost hundreds to fix. nevertheless I feel that I have been pushing my luck with the light on this long, if I were you, I could get a diagnostic if you may be able to. My audi dealership charges $110 for a diagnostic, but, so shop for prices at local garages if that is an choice.
