check engine light on? help please

It could be nothing more than a loose gas cap, or it could be very serious. Check the gas cap, if it is not loose, I suggest having the codes read. The engine computer has stored a code to tell you why the light is on.

Some places will read the codes for you for free and you should be able to buy a tools to read the codes yourself. Ignoring it is foolish in my opinion.

Could be any number of things... but I doubt it would be a loose gas cap since I don't think the 1995 models have LDPs in them.

The problem is it could be any number of things, and based on what info you gave us, there is no way to know. It is like me posting that my belly hurts and asking why? Maybe I ate to many Twix candy bars, or maybe I just read another Leo Lee post... who knows.

Why not purchase yourself a VAG COM and then you can scan the car yourself and post the finding here, then we can help you.

Wait 2 days....it should turn itself off if there is not a continuing problem. Otherwise, expect $75 to get it read.

Doesn't have a LDP so rule the gas cap issue out!

$75?? are you nuts? Autozone does it for FREE.
