Default Engine Problem!!! Please help!!
Tonight when I started up my car for the first time since I last drove it yesterday, the whole car was shaking violently sideways accompanied by loud noise. I restarted the car and let the engine run for about 10 seconds, and the shaking and the noise still wouldn't stop. Nothing like this has occurred before. Last dealer service was at June last year. It's got about 34,000 miles on it. What could possibly be the problem? The only mod I have is xenon HID and suspension. Do I need to get it towed to dealer? How much would it cost to fix it?

Default ignition coil. Same thing happened to me. Is your CE light flashing? If so, don't drive it.
call audi road side assistance if the CE light is flashing. They'll have it towed.
