Hi gents,
returned from a longish drive yesterday when car ran fine, upon reversing into driveway it began to misfire badly. I tried a short test drive later and it suddenly cleared OK. Tried it again later and suddenly developed a misfire again. Wont rev beyond 4000 when stationary and 'engine' symbol is now illuminated on dash..... any ideas?

thanks

Time for a diagnostic code read to find out what has failed. Could be a Lamda sensor failure or a cam position sensor or coil or amplifier has died and forced the car into limp mode. Regards Peter

Thanks for that Peter,
I've just read on an official Audi workshop CD (Elsa Win) that cars in my VIN number were fitted with a batch of defective ignition coils from new....... Humidity Ingress....seems a good possibility? Coils fitted after week 18 2006 are OK....hope I can get them under the 3 year warranty
