Hi all . I have had my car about three weeks now a 2017 a6 avant took it on its first long trip at the weekend from Manchester to Portsmouth 247 miles and it never missed a beat . It was a different story on the way back about 120 mile into the journey i accelerated to overtake a middle lane hogger and nothing foot hard to the floor but no acceleration whatsoever no lights on the dash . I covered the last 120 odd miles using the gears to get me home its a manual car . Anyway finally got home switched the car off . About an hour later i took it out and the problem had completely gone all was back to normal . Got it checked for fault codes again nothing logged . Does anyone have any idea what the issue could have been any advice would be very much appreciated
 
what diagnostic tool were you using?
 
sounds like it went into limp mode.. could be airflow sensor that needs cleaning (maf)
