Hi all,
Just got a quick question, I may be heading in the completely wrong direction with this...
My car was with Audi about a month ago getting the software update to comply with emission laws etc. the car has seemed fine since and haven't really noticed any difference in performance or MPG.
But yesterday on the way to work, the Engine Management Lamp kept flashing after a couple of miles into the journey. Aswell as the flashing icon, there was a lot of misfire and loss of power, i could still go around 40mph.
Then on the way home, again after a few miles the same thing happened.
On the way to work this morning, I took it easy and didn't let the revs get too high and the light didn't come on at all.
So, today I had my trusty mobile mechanic come out this morning to plug it into the computer to see whats going on. The error it threw out was with the EGR valve, now I don't know much about cars, but the mechanic mentioned its got something to do with emissions.
If this is the case, do you think the software update may have caused this and if so has anyone else had this issue after the update? I just think its a bit of a coincidence! but may be completely wrong.
Any advice would be great!
Many Thanks
Tom
