I've just picked up a second hand A4 S line 2007 tiptronic that has been limited to occasional very short trips (total mileage 10K kms at 2 years old). Took it for its first long run on the weekend and got the warning light for the particulate filter. Following instructions, I ran it hot (above 60kph in 4th and 5th) for the best part of an hour with no change. On the way back home the following day the coil warning light came on and the engine went into some sort of 'safe' mode that wouldn't get the revs over about 2500 or speed more than 100kph. Its at the garage now and the mechanic assures me that its just a computer issue but as I'm in Sofia Bulgaria, I've been looking for advice/comments/thoughts on the issue. Other forums seem to think this is a more substantial issue than 'just drive the car fast for a while'.
I'd appreciate your thoughts
