I have a 2003 RS6 with 24,000 miles. In January I had the 35,000 mile warranty work done since my car was coming off warranty.
Friday on the way home from work the car started shaking. At first I thought I had a flat tire. I stopped the car to check the tires and then noted the engine warning light came on. I read the manual and it noted the warning light, but the manual did not say to stop driving the car. I restarted the car and headed home. About 5 miles later the car died.
After sitting on the highway for 2 1/2 hours the car was taken via flat bed to a dealer.
They called to tell me that something really bad has happened. They are unable to manually turn over the engine. Sounds bad huh?
