Having written that, I need to apologize; I have CRS [1].

The Type 44 (100/200) needs an LED test light; the V6s can use
the CEL just by jumping the right terminals in the fuse box and
watching the CEL flash.  The terminals can be jumped with just
a paper clip.  The problem is that not all Audis came with a
light behind the CEL display; but since yours came on, that
should not be a problem.

Sorry for confusing anyone.
