Check Engine Light on E300TD?

Ive got a check engine light on my 98 300TD. I talked to the dealer and have an appointment tomorrow morning but i was wondering what were lookin at here. Over the phone i was told most likely an "emissions problem" so that could be anything pretty much. Anyone have any ideas?

Just got back from the dealer. Turned out that when i drove into a dusty lot i sucked enough dust to plug the filter and ruin the MAF sensor. Oh well thats the beauty of starmark.

I guess i caught the thread a day late, my bad. I was going to say, my E300 did the same thing, and the MAF was bad too. It was because I had installed a K&N air filter...but they didn't realize luckily, and covered it under warranty. Apparently the tack oil they use gets on the inside of the maf and ruins the sensors.
