normaly this means there is an issue and your car is telling you this so that you can stop and find out whats wrong so you don't damage the engine ... sounds like you need the codes read with a ross tech scanner or audi/vw specialist shop .. it sounds to me like either a broken crank case hose /clogged or the emissions system or cats. get it scanned and come on back with the codes if the shop does not help you with them

My ESP light came on and the car started trembling bad - while idling and accelerating. I put so much money and labor in the issue to later find out it was just bad coil packs. Stupidity enough I skipped a simple step, PLEASE everyone check your packs. After I changed them the issue went away
