Default Check Engine Light.....sputtering and no power eerghhh !

On my way home tonight everything was fine, suddenly the car had a sudden loss of power and then the CEL started flashing. Car was idling very rough and shaking the entire car. I was able to limp home. It sort of feels like it was running on 7 cyl. ??

Off to the dealer....I might as well have them fix all the other issues while its there.

moisture in the tail light
metal poking me when lumbar is inflated
MMI querks
lunging during decceleration
flashing brake light after hard acc.

Unsure about buying 04 A8l

Default Just a thought....have your dealer check for a faulty brake light relay..

..It's an integral component of the engine mgt system. Could be the culprit.

Default I thought just that given my exp. with 1.8t coilpacks

the symptoms seemed similar but in a 1.8t the car wouldnt run at all. I was at least able to limp home. Hopefully it didnt cause damage to the cat.
