ok heres my situation, i was driving my 2002 audi a4 1.8 turbo 2 days ago, maby driving for 30 min on the highway, then get off and sit at a light and all of asudden the car starts bogging like it wants to stall, but it dosent, maby gos on for 3 min then check engine light comes on and i turn the car off and let it sit for like an hour. then drive it and its fine????? i was thinking a coil maby. then today it happened again, it only happens when the car i guess is fully hot arounnd 30 - 35 minutes of the car being on. it only seems to happen when the car is either being driven on side streets at low speeds or at ideal. what do u guys think? i was thinking maby it bogging b/c its not running on all 4cyl b/c of a bad coil???? but if that was it then wouldnt it not go away? like it would be constant?

 

if you wanna make sure is the coil get a code for it. Your light stays on all the time?

 

now that the light came on its on now, but the problem only happens when i stated. now u say get a code for it but that would mean i would have to hook it up to a diagnostic machine. i was tryin to avoid bringin it somewhere if i could fix it my self, maby this was somthing common or someone had this happen to them. thats why i asked here 1st before i bring if somwhere

 

take ur car to autozone advance tell them u need a scan. They will do it for free. It probably is a coilpack and u can order someone at the stealership or ecstuning. Make sure to get the revised brembi or hitachi e coils bolt down.

 

Like Pa4ul says, Auto Zone will do it for free, you don't have to spend an Arm and a leg to get it checked.

 

i had a bad coil.....and thats not how it is.....the car runs.....like s*&^...but it runs and u get a flashing check light. and its like that always not just when its hot

 

thnx guys yeah i went to autozone they hooked it up and it came back missfire #2 so im goin to change the coil and see from thier. hopfully that fixes it. eventually goin to do plugs and all the coils but for now just fix the problem.

 

A lot of people keeps spare coils, apparently that's a common prob with our cars.
