You can drive the car but should have the vehicle checked soon as possible. BUT if the service engine soon light is flashing, stop the vehicle when it is safe to do so then shut off the engine immediately. If you continue to drive the vehicle with the service engine soon light flashing you will do catastrophic damage to the catalytic converter(s).

What is wrong when engine light turns on?
The check engine or service engine soon light comes on to alert you that there is or was a problem with the emissions system on your vehicle. If the light comes on steady and stays on, it means that there is a problem and you should have it checked out soon. If it comes on and flashes, it means you will cause damage if you continue driving.

The engine light will only be on because there is a problem, take it to your nearest Audi Speacialist Cars where they can plug it into a machine and check what the problem is. it could be a case of just a failed sensor somewhere in the engine but more than likely will be a problem, not something you want to ignore!
