Ok, I need some serious help. Well my car does anyway! Was driving down the A1 this evening when car starts jerking and running very rough. No warning lights at this point. Then started to lose power. Emmision control light flickers on and off. Manage to make it to a layby and eventually decide to call breakdown. An hour an half later they arrive! Now at home, looking at it but bewildered. It starts fine and seems to idle ok except for the occasional moment when it misses a beat (and you can feel the whole car jerk). When I rev gently though it sounds very rough. I wonder whether the emission control light coming on is a secondary problem (e.g. mixture too rough which then affects emmisions). Any ideas gratefully received! Thanks.
Oh, and does anyone have an idea how I can get the car to my nearest Audi garage - 8 miles away. It's not really driveable. I did get the pickup truck to drive to the garage intending to leave it there, but it was all gated off / locked up and I didn't want to leave the car on the road outside. Thanks.
