I turned it off, went in the house to have my mom listen and it took several tries to turn it back on. The second time the knocks were slightly quieter and faster. It has about 75,000 miles, has had about half of the 60,000 mile maintenance. I've gotten regular oil changes and am due for one now, but not overdue.
Alot of times when you let a car sit for a while, the oil will slowly drain down into the oil pan. When you start the engine, the knocking you hear is all the metal parts flying around, waiting for the oil pump to start spraying the oil everywhere. If you start it back up, let it run for a minute and listen for the noise to quieten down, it should eventually go away. You can help prevent the dry start as you are having by using good synthetic oil, and sometimes adding in LUCAS oil treatment.
Testimonial: "I had my dad listen to it and he said the same thing. Thank you!"

Look in your owners manual. It will tell you the correct procedure for reseting the light. Doesn't anybody read these anymore?

find a SPECIALIZED Audi mechanic with his own / family business ( NOOOO DEALERS !!!!!!) which may give 3 references - customers. After that, the only thing you should care would be the regular oil service. Splendid car, mine drove like a dream until the dealership f****d its engine.
